3D Printed Orthoses
3D printed orthoses are reshaping modern orthotic therapy, giving clinicians new ways to design, prescribe and deliver precise, bespoke devices.
At Algeos Academy, our 3D printed orthoses content supports clinicians in understanding how digital workflows fit into real clinical practice. From scanning and prescription principles through to material selection, device design, and patient communication, our training helps bridge the gap between traditional orthotic knowledge and emerging digital technologies.
3D printed orthoses are relevant across a wide range of clinical roles, including:
Podiatrists and chiropodists
Orthotists and prosthetists
Physiotherapists
MSK clinicians
Sports therapists and sports rehabilitators
Foot health practitioners
Rehabilitation specialists
Clinicians involved in diabetic foot care, pressure care and lower-limb management
Students and educators in lower-limb healthcare
Whether you are exploring digital orthoses for the first time or looking to strengthen your confidence with 3D prescription and workflows, our education is designed to support informed, clinically led decision-making at every stage of practice.
Transitioning from Traditional to Digital Foot Orthoses
Digital orthoses are changing the way clinicians capture, design and deliver devices, but knowing when and how to use them is key. This session explores where digital fits within clinical decision-making, and how to integrate it without losing the principles that underpin good practice.
Scan Smarter: Mastering Digital Scanning for Custom Orthoses
Digital scanning is only as good as the technique behind it. This session focuses on how to capture accurate, repeatable scans, and how small changes in positioning and process can have a significant impact on orthotic design, fit, and patient outcomes.
Materials Science: Traditional vs Digital
As digital manufacturing evolves, clinicians are faced with more material choices than ever. This session looks at how traditional and digital materials compare in real clinical use, and how to select between them with greater clarity and confidence.
