CAD/CAM System for Design and Manufacturing of Insoles

The application of CAD/CAM techniques has significantly contributed to development of new tools, and application of new technologies in design and production of orthoses and prostheses. This paper gives an short overview obout CAD/CAM system for design and manufacturing of insoles. It presents biomechanical characteristics of the foot which directly implies the features of the future insole. Because of the unity of each foot, the principle of universality, i.e. confectional production of insoles, does not give the expected results. Therefore, the advantage is given to production of insoles according to the clinical and pedobarographic finding of the individual. It also includes the necessity of measurement of static and dynamic stresses on the foot. The paper presents the developed CAD/CAM system, enabling efficient interfacing of all production phases. The system is developed by applying Open GL, Visual C++ and consists of five modules: module for foot scanning and processing of foot images, module for receveing and manipulating of input data, module for creating, modification and final adjustments of the insole, postprocessor module, and database module.
