Abstract
A method for generating an orthotic device is disclosed. In one implementation, the method includes generating CAD model data corresponding to an orthotic device to be applied to a body part of a patient. A pattern is mapped to a surface defined by the CAD model data to produce modified CAD model data, the mapped pattern defining a plurality of perforations formed at least partially through the surface. The modified CAD model data is transmitted to a three-dimensional printer. The three-dimensional printer is to produce the orthotic device having the plurality of perforations.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- generating, by a processing device, CAD model data corresponding to an orthotic device to be applied to a body part of a patient;
- mapping, by the processing device, a pattern to a surface defined by the CAD model data to produce modified CAD model data, wherein the mapped pattern defines a plurality of perforations formed at least partially through the surface;
- and
- transmitting, by the processing device, the CAD model data to a three-dimensional printer, wherein the three-dimensional printer is to produce the orthotic device having the plurality of perforations.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is to:
- generate CAD model data corresponding to an orthotic device to be applied to a body part of a patient;
- map a pattern to a surface defined by the CAD model data to produce modified CAD model data, wherein the mapped pattern defines a plurality of perforations formed at least partially through the surface;
- and
- transmit the CAD model data to a three-dimensional printer, wherein the three-dimensional printer is to produce the orthotic device having the plurality of perforations.
An orthotic device comprising:
- a plurality of perforations formed thereon, each of the plurality of perforations arranged according to a density-modulated pattern, wherein the orthotic device is shaped to fit to a body part of a patient, and wherein the orthotic device was produced by a three-dimensional printer using data generated from images of the body part of the patient.
