Digital design for centralized manufacturing networks

Connect more assessment points to your central manufacturing hub.

Qualified local professionals assess and prescribe. Ergono3D prepares digital insole designs for your agreed production workflow. Your central fab controls manufacturing, quality, fitting, and follow-up.

  • One manufacturing hub, many assessment points
  • Standardized digital design handoff
  • Local control of production and quality
  • Pilot-to-volume collaboration

The central-fab advantage

Expand access without duplicating production.

Professionals can assess patients closer to where they live while one central fab retains manufacturing equipment, production control, and quality expertise. Ergono3D provides the repeatable digital design link between them.

DESIGN BOTTLENECK More professionals should not mean more disconnected workflows.

The design service sits between clinical decisions and production, so each party can stay focused on its own responsibility.

  • 01Professional CAD software is expensive and takes time to learn.
  • 02Every assessment location may not have a digital designer.
  • 03Manufacturing equipment is impractical at every clinic.
  • 04Incomplete case information creates avoidable design delays.
  • 05Several professionals need one consistent submission method.
  • 06Selected complex cases may need added design input.
Collaboration model

Three roles, clearly separated.

The model works when clinical judgment, digital design, and local manufacturing stay connected—but never blurred together.

LOCAL / CLINICAL Assess

Local qualified professionals

Own the patient relationship and every clinical decision.

  • Patient assessment
  • Clinical decision-making
  • Prescription requirements
  • Scans, measurements, and photographs
  • Patient communication and consent
REMOTE / DIGITAL Design

Ergono3D

Turns structured requirements into digital insole designs for production.

  • Custom digital insole design
  • Standardized design workflow
  • Production-ready digital files
  • Revisions from structured feedback
  • Optional consultation for selected complex cases
LOCAL / PRODUCTION Make

Manufacturing partner

Owns the physical product and local delivery workflow.

  • Manufacturing equipment and materials
  • Production parameters and quality control
  • Fitting and delivery
  • Adjustments and remakes
  • Follow-up and local customer service
Standard operating procedure

One case, eight documented steps.

The pilot turns this starting framework into an SOP that matches your clinical workflow, patient types, manufacturing process, and local requirements.

  1. 01

    Patient assessment

    The local professional assesses the patient and determines the clinical and functional requirements.

  2. 02

    Scan + document

    Capture the agreed scans, measurements, photographs, footwear details, and supporting information.

  3. 03

    Submit prescription

    Send a standardized digital case packet with clear prescription requirements and production constraints.

  4. 04

    Ergono3D design

    Ergono3D prepares the custom digital insole design using the submitted requirements.

  5. 05

    Optional case review

    Selected complex cases can follow an agreed consultation path when additional design input is required.

  6. 06

    Manufacture + check

    The local partner manufactures the insole and applies its own material, print, and quality-control standards.

  7. 07

    Fit + deliver

    The local qualified professional manages fitting, delivery, patient guidance, and any required adjustment.

  8. 08

    Feedback + document

    Structured fitting and production feedback informs revisions and improves the shared case standard.

From digital file to finished insole

A visible handoff at every stage.

Ergono3D prepares and reviews the digital design. Your local central fab controls the equipment, materials, production process, finishing, and physical quality checks.

Pilot program

Start With a Structured Pilot.

Before scaling volume, test the complete handoff with real cases and agree what “ready for design” means for your network.

PILOT BRIEF SCOPE / TO DEFINE
  • 01Test the full case-to-fitting workflow
  • 02Define required patient information
  • 03Validate submission quality
  • 04Set turnaround expectations
  • 05Review common design requirements
  • 06Identify added elements or corrections
  • 07Validate manufacturing and fitting feedback
  • 08Estimate annual design volume

Designed for scalable networks

Grow the assessment network around one production hub.

A central-fab model lets qualified local professionals focus on assessment and care while digital design and physical production remain specialized.

Multi-site clinic

One clinical organization expanding across several locations.

Educator-led network

A professor or training organization preparing professionals to use one workflow.

External-prescription lab

A laboratory receiving structured requirements from outside clinicians.

Partnership FAQ

Questions to settle before a pilot.

Clear responsibilities first. Then workflow, case scope, service level, and pricing.

/ Q-01Who assesses the patient and determines the prescription requirements?
The local qualified professional assesses the patient, makes all clinical decisions, and defines the prescription requirements. Ergono3D designs from the structured information the partner submits.
/ Q-02Does Ergono3D manufacture the insoles?
No. The local manufacturing partner selects materials and production parameters, manufactures the insole, performs quality control, and manages fitting, delivery, adjustments, and follow-up.
/ Q-03Can Ergono3D design every case?
Case scope is agreed during the pilot. Some cases may be outside the agreed workflow or may require more information, a revision, or optional professional consultation before design can proceed.
/ Q-04What information is required for design?
The exact submission standard is defined during the pilot. It may include scans, measurements, photographs, prescription requirements, footwear information, intended use, and manufacturing constraints.
/ Q-05Can complex cases receive additional support?
Selected complex cases may receive optional consultation from Ergono3D's professional advisors when this is included in the agreed service scope. It is not automatically included with every design.
/ Q-06Can we use our own printers, materials, and production process?
Yes. The local partner manages manufacturing equipment, materials, print parameters, quality control, and final production. The pilot aligns design outputs with those manufacturing constraints.
/ Q-07Can the workflow support several clinics or professionals?
That is the intended collaboration model. A shared submission standard and documented feedback loop can connect several assessment points to one design workflow and a centralized manufacturing operation.
/ Q-08How is pricing determined?
A proposal considers pilot size, case volume, expected annual design volume, case complexity, revision needs, and the frequency of optional professional consultation.
/ Q-09Can we begin with a small pilot?
Yes. A structured pilot is the preferred way to test submission quality, design requirements, turnaround expectations, manufacturing feedback, and the likely long-term commercial model.
/ Q-10Who manages local fitting and follow-up?
The local qualified professionals and manufacturing partner remain responsible for fitting, adjustments, patient communication, follow-up, final use, and compliance with local requirements.
