3D Orthotic Scanning, Design, and 3D Printing - 100% Online

Course Description: Our 3D Orthotic Scanning, Design and 3D Printing course provides 40 hours of scanning, design and 3D printing experience. The course consists of self-paced how-to lectures and lab assignments. The instructor is available for email support during the class to assist in setup, scanning, design or 3D printing, related to the class. The student will learn scanning techniques and software, how to design and modify, how to create a model simulation, and finish with custom 3D printed orthoses. You will learn how to scan for lower extremity, upper extremity and spinal orthoses. You will design custom orthotics from that scan, modify the design, create a simulated model and 3D print a functional foot orthosis, a SMO, an AFO, an Arizona boot, and an arm splint. You will also learn to design a scoliosis jacket. Access to a 3D printer is required. We suggest a FLSUN QQ-S available on Amazon for around $300. Purchase not required. Course Objective: 3D Orthotic Scanning, Design, and 3D Printing will give you the basic knowledge to create custom full body orthoses for your patients.
