Luma 3D Scanner

Why Choose 3D Scanning in O&P?

The move towards 3D scanning in the O&P industry represents a significant shift towards more patient-centered care. Traditional casting methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can be uncomfortable for patients. In contrast, 3D scanning offers a quicker, cleaner, and more comfortable experience for both patients and clinicians. The digital data captured can be stored, modified, and reused, reducing waste and enabling faster turnaround times for custom device production. Additionally, integrating CAD/CAM orthopedic material enhances the precision and durability of custom devices, providing better outcomes for patients. In short, 3D scanning technology is reshaping the future of orthotics and prosthetics by empowering clinicians with tools that are faster, more precise, and more adaptable to individual patient needs.

Orthopedic 3D Scanners 

Orthopedic 3D scanners have become indispensable in the O&P industry, offering unparalleled accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability. These devices allow clinicians to capture detailed, high-resolution scans of patients’ limbs, torsos, or entire bodies in just minutes. 

Accuracy

Luma uses advanced scanning technology to capture real-time digital imaging and shape texture to get precise scans every time. This precision is crucial in Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P), where every individual is unique, and their devices must be tailored precisely to their body. Luma can create a high-resolution scan of each patient in a matter of minutes, capturing the fine details required for a custom fit. Moreover, the scanner includes advanced cleaning tools that allow clinicians to remove any unwanted objects from the scan, ensuring that the final digital file is accurate and ready for device creation.

Efficiency

The Luma 3D Scanner is a lightweight and portable device designed with clinicians in mind. It offers flexibility for the busy traveling lifestyle of O&P professionals. Clinicians can scan patients or casts on-site, minimizing the need for multiple appointments or lengthy data collection. The Luma’s ability to instantly set up and seamlessly connect with digital design software like Qwadra’s Canfit Modification Software makes it a go-to choice for practitioners who need to adapt to changing environments. With Luma, clinicians have the freedom to clean scan files and modify orthotic and prosthetic devices directly on the tablet, streamlining workflow and boosting efficiency.

O&P Specific

Luma stands out as a cutting-edge innovation meticulously crafted with a dedicated focus on both practitioners and patients, setting a new standard within the O&P industry. This state-of-the-art device is tailor-made to meet the unique demands of the field, demonstrating a commitment to excellence in both usability and performance. By prioritizing the practitioner and patient experience, Luma guarantees a level of comfort that redefines expectations.

One of Luma’s standout features is its remarkable usability, carefully designed to enhance efficiency and streamline processes for prosthetists, clinicians, and manufacturers alike. The device facilitates a seamless transfer of patient scans directly to a Central Fabricator, revolutionizing the collaborative dynamics within the industry. This capability fosters a new era of teamwork, where prosthetists, clinicians, and manufacturers can work together effortlessly, leveraging Luma’s advanced technology to deliver exceptional results.

The Structure Sensor and BodyScan: Expanding Scanning Solutions in O&P

Luma isn’t the only state of the art scanner in Qwadra’s product line! Qwadra’s has multiple scanning solutions like the Structure Sensor and BodyScan bringing complementary strengths to the table.

Structure Sensor

The Structure Sensor is renowned for its versatility and affordability, making it a popular choice for clinics looking for a high-quality entry-level scanner. It’s compact, easy to attach to a tablet, and provides reliable scans that integrate seamlessly with 3DSizeMe software. This is ideal for practitioners who need a fast and simple way to scan patient limbs or take initial measurements for both orthotics and prosthetics. Its affordability makes it a viable option for smaller clinics or those looking to expand their digital capabilities without a significant initial investment. One of the main differences between the Luma Scanner and the Structure Sensor is that the Structure Sensor with 3DSizeMe software, is an IOS based scanner. This means that it is compatible with an iPad whereas the Luma is compatible with a Microsoft Surface Pro. 

BodyScan

The BodyScan, on the other hand, is a more specialized device built for high-precision full-body scanning. This scanner is particularly useful for orthotists and prosthetists who need to capture a patient’s entire body shape, like when creating complex seating solutions or cranial helmets. Paired with MSoft software, the BodyScan ensures that every curve and contour is captured with unmatched accuracy, allowing clinicians to design devices that fit like a second skin. It’s the go-to solution for practitioners who require a comprehensive and holistic view of the patient’s body, capturing data points that other scanners might miss.

Custom app: 

My3DSizeMe offers a personalized touch to your 3D scanning experience, allowing you to tailor the app with your own colors and logo. With My3DSizeMe, customization is key, ensuring that your branding and identity are seamlessly integrated into the app interface.

Bringing Innovation to the O&P Industry

In essence, Qwadra’s 3D scanners—Luma, Structure Sensor, and BodyScan—represent a leap forward in technological innovation for the O&P industry. Each device is tailored to specific needs, ensuring that clinics have the flexibility to choose the right tool for the job. These scanners don’t just streamline processes; they act as catalysts for improved collaboration and communication among key stakeholders, fostering a new standard of care in O&P. With patient-centric designs and innovative features, these scanners are set to redefine the landscape of orthotics and prosthetics, creating a positive impact on the lives of both practitioners and patients.

Milling machines: 

Milling machines are a cornerstone of modern O&P fabrication, offering a precise and reliable method for shaping custom orthotic and prosthetic devices. These machines, such as Qwadra’s 3 Axis Carver and Victor 7 Axis Carver, utilize advanced CAD/CAM technology to carve patient-specific designs from a variety of materials, ensuring both accuracy and durability.

O&P Carvers: 

O&P carvers play a pivotal role in transforming digital designs into precise physical forms, bridging the gap between virtual modeling and hands-on patient care. These advanced machines, like Qwadra’s Axelle Carver and Victor Unlimited, use CNC technology to carve foam, wood, or other materials into exact replicas of custom orthotic and prosthetic components.

3D printers: 

Unlike traditional methods, 3D printing allows for the creation of complex geometries, lightweight structures, and even multi-material designs that enhance both comfort and functionality. The digital workflow eliminates waste, speeds up production, and provides clinicians with the flexibility to quickly iterate and refine designs. 

O&P Brands:

Leading O&P brands are at the forefront of driving innovation, shaping the industry with cutting-edge technology and patient-centric solutions. Companies like Qwadra are redefining traditional workflows by offering integrated systems that combine 3D scanning, CAD/CAM software, and advanced fabrication methods such as milling and 3D printing.
