Abstract
A system for making custom orthotic devices includes a housing, and the housing includes an opening sized to receive a body part. The system also includes a plastic sheet mounted to the housing such that the plastic sheet is in a position to receive pressure from the body part. The system also includes a ferrous material positioned within the housing. The system further includes an electromagnetic source that generates electromagnetic radiation to heat the ferrous material such that, in conjunction with the received pressure, the plastic sheet molds into an orthotic device for the body part.
