CAD/CAM’s Expanding Potential in O&P
Imagine taking a scoliosis patient's measurements by snapping a photograph and importing the image into CAD software. Imagine using this data not only to digitally design and modify the brace but also to test it for the desired in-brace modifications before actually fabricating and fitting it on a patient. These capabilities—and others like it—are no longer imaginary; they are increasingly becoming part of O&P clinical practice, thanks to quantum leaps in computer, scanning, and CAD/CAM technologies.

How To Get Highly Accurate Measures Directly On The Shop Floor
Far from the comfort of metrology labs where qualified inspectors operate digital CMM with their heavy, stable granite table, portable measurement is still facing several major challenges. In production environments, the permanent vibrations generated by production equipment like machining centers, presses, carriage equipment or cranes), the requirement for rigid equipment setups, the changes in temperature and humidity levels, and the operators’ varying experience and skills levels are all daily obstacles faced by users of portable measurement solutions.
