There are many types of machines that measure the arch of the foot.
Among them, the 3D foot scanner is one of the common devices used to measure the foot arch.
The 3D foot scanner mainly uses the principle of laser technology to collect and measure the bottom of the foot, and obtain 3D data.
The principle of measurement by the 3D foot scanner involves three steps:
- Through a laser sensor, the foot is quickly scanned and measured to obtain 3D data.
- The scanned data is processed through software and converted into a 3D model. These data are displayed in a digital format on software on the computer, making it easy for people to understand.
- Through the software’s analysis settings, foot-related data such as flat feet and high arches are evaluated, and can be exported. The export formats include Word and PDF, and the 3D data formats include STL and OBJ.
How much does a 3D foot scanner cost?
Typically, it ranges from over 10,000 to 30,000 or 40,000, depending on the brand, manufacturer, and different models.
Measuring the foot arch is generally used to assess flat feet and high arches. It can be used for children’s foot screening in schools and for custom shoe insoles and designs.
Currently, the 3D foot scanner from Jingyi Xun has an accuracy of up to 0.5mm. The high-precision data allows for a more detailed understanding of the feet and can be applied to custom insoles, making more comfortable and better-fitting insoles for the feet.
