  The most important feature of orthotics is customization, and most patients often face the problem of inflexible adjustment of orthopedic means and aids during treatment. Traditional orthotics use plaster molds, and the fitting effect of orthotics is not as good as it should be. Combined with 3D printing technology, the patient's limb is digitally scanned with high precision through a scanner, and then the data is processed according to the characteristics of different patients and specific functional needs, including the design of the orthosis, adjusting and repairing the three-dimensional model, and then an accurate digital three-dimensional model is created for the patient through the proprietary software, and then the orthosis can be made to fit the patient's limb completely.
