What is a 3D foot scanner? Working principle and application analysis

A foot 3D scanner is a device used to accurately measure foot size and 3D models.

Through optical principles such as laser, it can quickly obtain 3D data of the foot, such as key parameters such as foot length, foot width, arch height, heel angle, etc.

It is widely used in sports rehabilitation, footwear customization, corrective insole design and other fields.

The working principle of the foot 3D scanner: Use optical, laser and other technologies to scan the foot with high precision and generate a complete 3D foot model.

Its workflow is as follows:

1. Data collection.

The tester stands still in the scanner measurement area, and keeps the body naturally relaxed during the standing process.

The plantar scanner captures information such as the surface contour and size of the foot through lasers, optical cameras, etc.

Application of foot 3D scanner

2. 3D modeling.

The collected point cloud is processed by software and reconstructed into an accurate 3D model.

3. Data analysis.

Through the arch height, footprint area, heel angle, etc., it is analyzed to determine whether there are problems such as flat feet, high arches, inversion and valgus.

The collected data can also be used to provide data support for corrective insoles, orthotics, etc.

4. Generate reports.

Generate foot analysis reports through software for reference by measurers, doctors and rehabilitation therapists.

STL and other three-dimensional data can also be directly used in the design of corrective insoles and professional customized shoes.

Foot 3D scanner, the most common application scenario.

1. Applied in medicine and rehabilitation, such as diagnosing flat feet, high arches and diabetic feet, and guiding the customization of corrective insoles and corrective shoes based on these data.

2. Applied in sports and rehabilitation training, using the scanned data, athletes can be provided with more suitable shoes and insoles to reduce sports injuries. In rehabilitation, personalized rehabilitation training plans can be formulated based on these measurement data.

3. Applied in shoe design and production, combining 3D printing technology with biomechanics and ergonomics to design more comfortable and fitting shoes and insoles.

4. Applied in personal health management. Through the foot 3D scanner, regularly check your foot health, timely discover possible foot problems, and achieve early detection and early prevention.
