Challenge

Mass-produced insoles don't match individual foot geometry. Custom orthotics traditionally require casting, mold-making, and 2–4 week lead times.

Solution

Carbon and Aetrex partnered to produce custom orthotic insoles from foot scans using Carbon's DLS process — delivering precise lattice structures tuned to individual pressure maps and anatomy.

Outcomes

01Days vs 2–4 weeks time savings
02Patient-specific pressure mapping

Technologies

Digital Light Synthesis
