TechMed 3D: Transforming O&P with Accessible 3D Scanning Solutions

In the evolving landscape of orthotics and prosthetics (O&P), TechMed 3D has emerged as a pivotal player, offering innovative 3D scanning solutions that bridge the gap between traditional practices and modern digital workflows. Established in 2009 in Lévis, Québec, TechMed 3D has dedicated itself to making 3D body scanning technology more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly for healthcare professionals worldwide.

Simplifying the Transition to Digital

Recognizing the challenges faced by clinicians accustomed to manual methods, TechMed 3D developed solutions that simplify the adoption of digital technologies. Their flagship software, MSoft, is designed for Windows and allows users to scan directly using compatible devices like BodyScan, EinScan H2, or Peel 3. The software facilitates easy alignment, clipping, and reconstruction of 3D files, enabling clinicians to add measurements and export clean, watertight models suitable for further processing or fabrication.

For those seeking mobile solutions, 3DsizeMe offers a free iOS application that transforms an iPhone or iPad into a portable 3D scanner. This contactless method is particularly beneficial for clinicians who require flexibility and efficiency in various clinical settings.

One of the most popular options for mobile scanning is pairing the Structure Sensor with an iPad using the 3DsizeMe app. This combination provides a compact and intuitive solution for capturing patient shapes quickly and accurately. The Structure Sensor attaches directly to the iPad and allows clinicians to perform full-body or localized scans with ease—perfect for everything from orthotic AFOs to spinal jackets and cranial insoles. The captured data is seamlessly processed through 3DsizeMe, making it easy to review, refine, and send files for design or manufacturing.
