3D Scanner (ST001)

Unlike all other scanning systems which rely on optical, pin or pressure mat scanners, Soletec’s unique scanning  technology is the leading system that truly capture a 3D image of the foot for both footwear and prescriptive orthotics.   

Optical or pressure mat systems can not function in the same way, even though they “manipulate” the data to produce an on-screen image which looks 3D.     

Soletec's scanning technology, therefore, is the only system able to produce results as accurate as those obtained by old-fashioned plaster-cast methods.

The foot digitizer meets the market demands for a low cost piece of equipment with a quality image capture in a relatively short scanning time. It has a vision area of 160 x 120 mm and a scanning area of 400 mm. The foot is scanned in 8 s. and the output file is in ASCII format containing X, Y and Zcoordinates arranged in vertical sections parallel to each other with an accuracy to the nearest 1 mm.
