Scan solution
Digital scanning is a crucial part of the digital workflow in orthotics and prosthetics, offering precision and efficiency in capturing patient anatomy. This technology minimizes errors and streamlines the design and fabrication process, ensuring better patient outcomes. LeoShape provides versatile solutions that include the use of flatbed scanners and iPhone scanning, making digital scanning accessible and convenient for all practitioners. However LeoShape provides scanning solutions, their use is not mandatory, as our editors can read any .stl or .obj files.
LeoScan solutions:
- iPhone-Based Scanning: iPhone-based scanners utilize the TrueDepth technologies integrated into newer iPhone models. These systems use structured light, specifically infrared, to create detailed depth maps of objects. The portability and ease of use make it ideal for capturing quick scans on the go.
- iPad-Based Scanning: iPad-based scanners typically use the Structure Sensor, which also employs infrared technology. The larger screen of the iPad provides a better viewing and interaction experience during the scanning process, making it more suitable for detailed orthotic and prosthetic work.
- Computer-Based (Tethered) Scanning: These setups involve a scanner connected to a computer, providing more processing power and flexibility in scanning. These systems can use a variety of technologies such as white light, blue light, or laser scanning, and can be configured as a handheld device or can be a floor based flatbed configuration also. Tethered systems can be highly accurate and are often used in clinical settings where precision is paramount.
Benefits of 3D Scanning
- Precision and Accuracy: 3D scanning provides highly accurate digital representations of a patient's anatomy, crucial for creating well-fitted orthotic and prosthetic devices.
- Efficiency: The scanning process is quick and reduces the need for physical molds, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Digital Records: Scanned data can be stored digitally, allowing for easy access and reference for future treatments, adjustments, or replacements.
- Customization: 3D scanning allows for the creation of customized devices tailored to the specific anatomical features of each patient, improving comfort and functionality.
- Reduced Physical Contact: Especially important for patients with sensitive or painful areas, 3D scanning reduces the need for physical impressions, providing a more comfortable experience.

benefits
- Initial Costs: The initial investment in 3D scanning equipment can be significant, with prices varying based on the technology and configuration. Handheld and standalone scanners tend to be more affordable, while tethered systems can be more expensive due to higher precision and advanced features.
-
Operational Savings: Over time, the use of 3D scanning can lead to substantial cost savings:
Reduced Material Costs - Eliminating the need for physical molds and plaster casts reduces material expenses.
Labor Savings - The automated and semi-automated processes associated with 3D scanning reduce manual labor and associated costs.
Minimized Errors - Accurate digital models reduce the likelihood of errors, leading to fewer remakes and adjustments.
Improved Patient Satisfaction - Well-fitted devices reduce the need for follow-up visits and adjustments, saving time and resources for both the clinic and the patient.
