Dynamix, a provider of foot care solutions, announces a new product that allows customers to create accurate custom-made foot orthotics from the comfort of their own homes.
With a $1 million-dollar 3D printing investment, the process uses a mobile app to scan the foot, making it accessible to anyone who wants to improve their foot health. The new solution integrates a technology to analyze the customer’s foot shape and create a 3D model that is used to produce custom-fit insoles. The process takes just a few minutes and can be done using a smartphone or tablet.
“With 3D scanning and printing technologies traditionally only reserved for clinicians, we wanted to take these superior technologies and make them available to all of our customers,” says veteran Bernie Veldman, founder and CEO of Dynamix. “We know that foot pain and discomfort can have a major impact on people’s lives, and we’re committed to providing the best possible solutions to help them feel better.“
Meticulously designed by certified orthotists, the product addresses an extensive array of foot problems, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet and overpronation. The custom-fit orthotics provide support and cushioning where it’s needed most, reducing pain and discomfort while improving overall foot health.
“Traditionally, when a person would develop a foot problem, they would see their primary care physician who would then send them to a podiatrist or an orthotist. People have to take time off work and pay a copay with each visit. It can take months and cost up to $800 if your insurance doesn’t cover custom foot orthotics,” says Veldman. “Ultimately, with this new technology, you get the same outcomes with less hassle.”
