What are the functions and significance of 3D foot scanners for flat feet?

Flat foot is a kind of foot deformity, and it is a collapse of the foot arch.

If flat foot is serious, it will affect people's daily life. For example, standing or walking will bring discomforts such as pain on the sole of the foot.

In the past, when many doctors or rehabilitation therapists evaluated flat feet, they relied on naked eye observation, relied on empirical judgment and relied on footprint method. These traditional methods have no specific values, so it is difficult to make accurate judgments, and even may make wrong judgments.

The emergence of plantar 3D scanner can easily solve this problem.

The 3DOE plantar 3D scanner adopts laser principle to conduct all-round scanning and detection on human soles. Users stand on the equipment, and it only takes 5 to 20 seconds to complete the measurement. It can obtain more than 20 groups of key data of the sole, generate graphical measurement reports, and generate 3D format data such as STL at the same time.

On the measurement report, users can directly see whether they have flat feet, high foot arches, foot varus, foot valgus and other foot problems. It not only has judgment results, but also displays specific judgment standards and relevant data. No matter rehabilitation therapists, doctors or users, they can directly and clearly understand their own foot health conditions.


The plantar 3D scanner can not only evaluate foot health conditions such as flat feet, but also apply the obtained 3D data such as STL to the design and production of corrective insoles.

Correcting flat feet and other foot problems through corrective insoles is a common method at present.

The process of making corrective insoles by using plantar scanners is as follows:

1. Obtain plantar 3D data such as STL 3D data through the plantar 3D scanner.

2. Import the data into the insole design software to carry out flat foot correction design. This work requires professional designers who can make targeted design according to measurement reports and measured data.

3. After the design is completed, export the data and process it with special software to make these data run on 3D printers or insole engraving machines. Then import the data into 3D printers or insole engraving machines via U disk and other ways to produce insoles.

4. After insoles are produced by 3D printers or insole engraving machines, polishing, surface pasting and other procedures are also needed to make insoles more fashionable and beautiful and meet customers' personalized demands.

5. Deliver the finished insoles to customers by express delivery and other ways.

6. It is suggested to conduct regular follow-up visits to customers after they wear the insoles in the later stage, and further optimize the insole design according to the use effect, so as to make the correction effect more effective until radical cure is realized.
