Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a hoof boot including at least the following components: a base plate, at least two side parts, and at least one heel strap. Known hoof boots are assembled from standardized components, given that a good fit can only be achieved via strong and potentially painful tightening or a complex method when putting on the hoof boot. To solve this problem, at least one of the components is produced by an additive manufacturing method, by which a precise fit of the hoof boot is enabled. In addition, the disclosure relates to a method for producing such a hoof boot and its use.
Claims13
A hoof boot comprising:
- at least one of:
- a base plate,
- at least two side parts, and
- at least one heel strap,
- wherein at least one of the base plate, the at least two side parts, and the at least one heel strap is produced by an additive manufacturing method.
A method for producing a hoof boot, the hoof boot including at least one of a base plate, at least two side parts, and at least one heel strap, the method comprising:
- receiving a data set having geometric information of a hoof;
- calculating a hoof boot geometry based on the data set;
- creating three-dimensional models of the individual components;
- selecting the at least one of the base plate, the at least two side parts, and the at least one heel strap from standard parts or manufacturing the at least one of the base plate, the at least two side parts, and the at least one heel strap based on the three dimensional models, wherein the base plate is produced by an additive manufacturing method;
- and
- (pre-)assembling the at least one of the base plate, the at least two side parts, and the at least one heel strap to form the hoof boot.
