Abstract
In an example, a method is described. The method comprises generating object model data representative of a design of a foot support to be produced for a subject according to the object model data. The design of the foot support comprises: a support portion; and an extension portion extending from the support portion. A type of the extension portion is based on a condition of the subject's foot and the extension portion is personalized to the subject based on at least one measurement of the subject's foot.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry, a template design for a foot support to be produced for a subject, wherein
- the foot support comprises a support portion and an extension portion extending from the support portion, where a type of the extension portion is based on a condition of the subject's foot and the extension portion is personalized to the subject based on at least one measurement of the subject's foot, and
- the template design comprises the type of extension portion to use based on the condition of the subject's foot;
- generating, by the processing circuitry, object model data representative of a design of the foot support by modifying the template design based on the at least one measurement of the subject's foot, the foot support to be produced according to the object model data, wherein generating the object model data comprises:
- receiving user input of a numerical rigidity parameter value of a rigidity degree of the foot support, or user selection one rigidity degree from a list of different rigidity degrees comprising rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid rigidity degrees;
- receiving a design parameter specifying that one or more closable openings are to be formed at an upper side of the foot support or that the one or more closable openings is to be formed at the upper side of the foot support;
- modifying the template design so that the foot support has the rigidity degree per the user input of the numerical rigidity parameter value or per the user selection of the one rigidity degree from the list;
- modifying the template design so that the foot support has the one or more closable openings specified by the design parameter;
- and
- causing, by the processing circuitry, an additive manufacturing apparatus to produce the foot support according to the generated object model data to produce the food support per the template design.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor to perform processing comprising:
- receiving a template design for a foot support to be produced for a subject, wherein
- the foot support comprises a support portion and an extension portion extending from the support portion, where a type of the extension portion is based on a condition of the subject's foot and the extension portion is personalized to the subject based on at least one measurement of the subject's foot, and
- the template design comprises the type of extension portion to use based on the condition of the subject's foot;
- generating object model data representative of a design of the foot support by modifying the template design based on the at least one measurement of the subject's foot, the foot support to be produced according to the object model data, wherein generating the object model data comprises:
- receiving user input of a numerical rigidity parameter value of a rigidity degree of the foot support, or user selection one rigidity degree from a list of different rigidity degrees comprising rigid, semi-rigid, and rigid rigidity degrees;
- receiving a design parameter specifying that one or more closable openings are to be formed at an upper side of the foot support or that the one or more closable openings is to be formed at the upper side of the foot support;
- modifying the template design so that the foot support has the rigidity degree per the user input of the numerical rigidity parameter value or per the user selection of the one rigidity degree from the list;
- modifying the template design so that the foot support has the one or more closable openings specified by the design parameter;
- and
- causing an additive manufacturing apparatus to produce the foot support according to the generated object model data to produce the food support per the template design.
