Embodiment Construction

[0026] Industries mass-produce their products, which results in thousands of products with the same physical characteristics, due to one mold being used repeatedly to generate said thousands of products. The present invention combines on-site data acquisition equipment and three-dimensional printing to customize products to meet individual needs of customers. Since customization can be done easily and efficiently by modifying printing operations, 3D printing makes any customization possible without excessive expense.

[0027] figure 1 A kiosk 10 is shown for implementing a first exemplary embodiment of a system and method of the present invention whereby a customer or patient can have their foot physiology scanned for processing to manufacture custom insoles or Other footwear products. Although this patent application uses the term "shoe insole" hereinafter, it should be understood that the invention is applicable to a wider range of foot care and footwear products than just...

Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for measuring and generating a customized foot orthotic insole that may be inserted into footwear, to reposition the foot to that referenced neutral position or as close to that position as the individual can tolerate. The present invention can scan, manufacture, and dispense the custom insole at an integrated station that can be located in a specialist's office, but also in retail space, malls, airports, etc. The invention allows a customer to have his or her foot scanned using different types of three dimensional scanning or pressure scanning devices, whereupon the information from the scan(s) is / are fed to a semi-automatic design system, where computer programs and specialized AI algorithms create a custom insole design.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 301,920, filed March 1, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] The present invention generally relates to foot orthotic insoles. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for designing and manufacturing custom shoes, midsoles, insoles, sandals, flats, and other footwear by capturing dynamic and static footwear in a weighted and unweighted state. foot contours and dimensions, and quickly generate foot orthotics at the point of scan using additive manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing through on-site evaluation, design and fabrication. [0004] People with foot problems often turn to insoles to relieve minor pain and discomfort due to injuries, fatigue, physical problems, and more. Podiatrists often recommend simple liners to relieve symptoms of plantar fa...
