An orthotics CNC is a specialized computer-controlled machine used to automatically carve or mill orthopedic devices such as custom foot orthotics, prosthetic molds, and braces.
1).3D scan of the patient’s foot, limb or spine.
2).Design is created using softwares like Powermill, UG and so on.
3).CNC machine mills the shape from a foam block.
4). The carved model is used to fabricate the final orthotic device.
1).Custom foot orthotics (insoles)
2).Prosthetic socket shaping
3).Positive mold production for vacuum forming
4).Scoliosis brace
5).Processing materials like PU foam, EVA foam, and plaster
1).3-axis CNC routers – commonly used for foot orthotics
2).4-axis CNC machines – suitable for more complex prosthetic designs
3).Dedicated orthotic milling machines – optimized for foam carving
1).Faster than manual production methods
2).High precision and repeatability
3).Supports full digital workflow (scan → design → mill)
4).Reduces labor costs and human error
An orthotics CNC is a digital manufacturing machine that converts patient scan data into a precise physical model, making the production of orthopedic devices faster, more accurate, and highly efficient.
