  • Patent number: 11425966
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a device for adapting a footwear to the specific deformations of the foot of a user, including creating 3D scans of the foot in weight bearing and non-weight bearing positions, as well as of the footwear; determining rubbing areas between the foot and the footwear by means of superimposing the scanned 3D image of the footwear and the scanned 3D images of the weight bearing and the non-weight bearing foot; obtaining a final out-of-phase 3D image of the non-weight bearing foot, wherein the rubbing areas in this image are moved out of phase until they reach an intermediate position selected between a minimum and a maximum limit; printing the part of the heel and the part of the forefoot from the final out-of-phase 3D image. Finally, fitting a flexible element for joining together the part of the heel and the part of the forefoot.

  • Patent number: 11317829
    Abstract: A system for capturing a plantar image is provided, which is based on a depth sensor or 3D image capturing device connected to a portable structure having: first legs; a first frame that holds a glass pane; and an elastic membrane on which a patient places his or her foot, making contact with the glass pane positioned there below, in the manner of a floor, to capture the plantar image by means of the depth sensor disposed beneath the glass pane. Respective platforms provided with a pair of second legs can be joined to the first frame. A system is provided that includes a transparent floor in a portable structure that allows the assembly to be transported so as to be able to capture the patient's plantar image in any desired place.
