Intelligent foot detection scanner – the use of 3D foot scanner

Smart Foot Detection Scanner (3D Foot Scanner) User Guide

I. ‌Usage Process‌

Equipment Calibration and Environment Preparation‌

Before starting the device, you need to preheat and calibrate the sensor to ensure that the scanning accuracy error is less than ‌0.05mm‌‌;

Adjust the light in the scanning area (avoid strong light or shadow interference) to keep the subject’s standing platform stable‌.

Scanning Posture Guidance‌

The subject stands barefoot on the scanning platform, with his feet naturally separated to the width of his shoulders and the center of gravity evenly distributed‌;

Maintain a static posture for about ‌10 seconds‌ to complete the rapid collection of 3D foot data‌.

Data Collection and Modeling‌

Use ‌structured light or laser scanning technology‌ to capture the surface morphology of the foot and generate a 3D model containing more than ‌60 parameters‌ such as foot length, foot width, and arch height‌;

Supports scanning with socks or barefoot, and is compatible with special needs such as plaster molds‌.

Analysis and report generation ‌

The system automatically generates ‌plantar pressure heat map‌, 3D arch shape and gait symmetry analysis report‌;

Output ‌STL format data‌, which can be directly connected to 3D printing equipment or orthopedic insole design software‌.

2. ‌Core application scenarios‌

Medical diagnosis and orthopedic customization‌

Accurately identify structural abnormalities such as flat feet, high arches, hallux valgus, etc., and assist in formulating orthopedic insoles or surgical plans‌;

Simulate the effect of foot deformity correction in preoperative planning to reduce surgical risks‌.

Personalized footwear and orthopedic device design‌

Customize shoe lasts or insoles based on 3D foot shape data to optimize plantar pressure distribution (such as relieving heel pain and adjusting gait)‌;

Support prosthetic design and adaptation, and generate affected side models through healthy foot mirroring‌.

Sports health and injury prevention

Analyze the peak pressure of the plantar pressure when the athlete lands, and optimize the training plan to prevent stress fractures;

Evaluate gait abnormalities (such as inward/outward toes), and provide targeted rehabilitation training suggestions.

Scientific research and clinical teaching

Establish a foot morphology database to study the correlation between arch collapse and scoliosis and knee joint degeneration;

Assist medical students to understand the biomechanical principles of the foot through visual 3D models.

III. Precautions for use

Equipment maintenance : Clean the scanning lens and sensor regularly to avoid dust affecting the accuracy; the calibration cycle is recommended every 3 months;

Subject cooperation : Before scanning, the patient needs to be guided to maintain a stable posture. Children or people with limited mobility can use a fixed bracket;

Data management : Encrypt and store sensitive medical data to ensure patient privacy and security.

The plantar 3D scanner realizes the full process support from foot health assessment to personalized intervention through ‌non-contact high-precision scanning‌ and ‌multi-dimensional data analysis‌, and is widely used in the fields of medical, sports and customized products.
