OrthoSolid

A clinician configures a custom orthosis in the browser; it flows straight to 3D-printed manufacture.

— The challenge

The problem

Custom orthotics are bespoke medical devices: every brace is fitted to a patient, specified by a clinician, and manufactured to order across a distributor network. OrthoSolid needed clinicians to configure the device themselves — geometry, material, ventilation, fixings — and have that specification drive manufacturing and fulfilment without paperwork.
— What we built

The solution

01

Parametric 3D orthosis configurator

A ShapeDiver-powered configurator for the CARPI, MINO, and VOLAR product lines — clinicians set material, brace length, ventilation, and fixings on a live 3D model, working from patient scan meshes.

02

Patient records + order pipeline

Patient data and scan uploads feed an order workflow tracked end to end across eleven statuses, from design approval and 3D-file generation through manufacture, shipping, and invoicing.

03

Distributor network, five languages

Role-based access for master distributors, distributors, and professionals, with the platform localised across five European languages.

— The outcome

What changed

OrthoSolid turns a clinician’s in-browser configuration into a manufactured, patient-specific orthosis — patient records, a parametric 3D configurator, and an eleven-stage order pipeline carry the device from clinic to 3D printer across five European markets.

One System or Seven: What a Unified Platform Looks Like for Custom-Product Manufacturers

Read

The typical custom manufacturer runs a website builder, a configurator SaaS, a quoting tool, spreadsheets for production, and accounting software — glued together by re-typing. Here is the capability map of a unified platform, and the integration tax it eliminates.

Mass Customization, Thirty Years On: The Operating Model Behind Profitable Personalization

Mass customization was promised in 1993 and mostly failed for two decades. The constraints that broke it — no customer interface, no captured product rules, rigid production — have now fallen. Here is the operating model manufacturers use to make personalization profitable.
