Translate podoscopy results — arch, alignment, pressure zones, size — into guided design inputs.
For clinics that already assess feet with a podoscope
You did the podoscopy.
Now design the insole.
No CAD. No scanner lock-in.
A podoscopy assessment shows you the footprint, arch, alignment, and pressure pattern — but it stops at diagnosis. Ergono3D is the next step: turn those findings into an adjustable, 3D-printable insole, preview the geometry online, and export a print-ready STL for in-house printing or a local production partner.
No CAD modeling
No scanner required
Device-agnostic
Print-ready TPU STL
Clinician-controlled workflow.
Ergono3D helps generate adjustable design files from your assessment. Clinical
judgment and patient decisions remain with the clinic.
Where podoscopy stops
Podoscopy tells you what's wrong. It doesn't make the insole.
Podoscopes and diagnostic software are built to measure and document the foot — arch contact, angles, valgus or varus, loading. That's the assessment half. Turning the assessment into a physical, custom insole is a separate step that usually means an external lab, generic CAD, or a fixed off-the-shelf file. Ergono3D closes that gap.
You already have
The assessment
A podoscopy exam: plantar footprint, arch profile, rearfoot alignment, pressure pattern, foot dimensions — recorded in your clinic.

Ergono3D adds
The design & the file
Those findings become an adjustable insole design and a print-ready STL — without CAD modeling, a scanner purchase, or a lab round-trip.
From readout to design
Read your podoscopy indices straight into the design.
A podoscopy workup already gives you a measurements list — arch and angle indices, foot dimensions, alignment. Each one maps onto a named, adjustable design parameter, so the readout drives the insole instead of a manual modeling guess.
| Podoscopy index | Typical reading | Ergono3D design response |
|---|---|---|
| Clark angle | 37.1° | Arch profile & medial support |
| KY ratio | 0.63 | Arch height parameter |
| Wejsflog ratio | 0.67 | Arch-flattening index → midfoot support |
| Alpha / Beta / Gamma | 104.8° / 17.5° / 17.7° | Hallux & forefoot alignment → forefoot posting |
| Foot length / width | 259 / 173 mm | Shell size & width scaling |
| Rearfoot valgus / varus | heel view | Heel cup depth & rearfoot posting |
These are the readings a podoscopy assessment already produces — for example the Clark, KY, alpha/beta/gamma and Wejsflog indices output by podoscope software such as MultiReha. Ergono3D is device-agnostic: it works from measurement- and questionnaire-based inputs, so no specific podoscope, brand, or scanner is required to start a design.
After the exam
Four steps from podoscopy findings to a printed insole.
Your podoscopy assessment is the starting point. From there, Ergono3D adds four guided, repeatable steps — no scanner, no CAD training, and no upfront software cost.

Why Ergono3D after podoscopy
Built for the step podoscopy software leaves out.
Diagnostic software, external labs, and static STL files each cover part of the path from assessment to product. Ergono3D was built for the design-to-print step a clinic controls in-house.
| Path after the exam | What the clinic still has to do | Ergono3D |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic / podoscope software only | Measure and document, then go elsewhere to actually make the insole | Picks up the findings and produces a print-ready design file |
| External orthotic lab | Wait days per revision; accept what the lab produces; pay per pair | Adjust parameters in-session and re-export — no lab back-and-forth |
| Generic CAD / 3D modeling | Train a CAD operator; model each case by hand; pay per-seat licenses | Parameters named in clinical vocabulary — no manual modeling step |
| Static STL marketplace file | One fixed file, no patient context, no parameter control | A custom file per case, adjustable, packaged with TPU slicer profiles |

Frequently asked
Podoscopy-to-insole questions answered.
/ 01Do I need a specific podoscope or brand to use Ergono3D?
No. Ergono3D is device-agnostic. It works from the findings of any podoscopy or foot assessment — the footprint, arch profile, alignment notes, and pressure observations you already record — regardless of which podoscope or platform you use.
/ 02Does Ergono3D replace my podoscopy or diagnostic software?
No. Diagnostic and podoscope software measures and documents the foot. Ergono3D picks up where that stops: it turns those findings into an adjustable, print-ready insole design file. The two are complementary — assessment on one side, a manufacturable design on the other.
/ 03Can I use measurements like arch index, Clark angle, or foot length?
Yes. Findings such as arch profile, Clark angle, rearfoot valgus or varus, forefoot loading, and foot length and width map onto named design parameters — arch height, heel cup depth, posting, regional stiffness, and shell sizing — so the clinical picture drives the design directly.
/ 04Do I need a foot scanner?
No scanner is required to start. Ergono3D works from measurement-based and questionnaire-based inputs, so a podoscopy assessment is enough to begin a design. You can still incorporate scanner data later if your workflow uses it.
/ 05What does Ergono3D output?
Ergono3D outputs a custom insole or orthotic STL file that can be prepared for 3D printing, packaged with TPU slicer profiles.
/ 06Can I print the insole in-house?
Yes. Clinics can print in-house on printers such as Bambu, Prusa, or Ultimaker with suitable TPU material and printing experience, or send the STL to a print service or local manufacturing partner.
/ 07How is this different from sending the case to an external lab?
With an external lab you wait days for each revision and accept whatever the lab produces. With Ergono3D you adjust parameters in the same session and re-export an updated STL in minutes — keeping design control and turnaround inside the clinic.
/ 08Does Ergono3D replace a podiatrist or orthotist?
No. Ergono3D does not replace clinical judgment. It is a design-file workflow tool that helps clinics turn assessment findings into adjustable STL files. Clinical assessment and patient decisions remain with the clinic.
