3D printing enables customised insoles for diabetes patients
In the past, insoles for patients with diabetes were hand-made by orthopedic shoemakers. In the future, these specialist shoemakers will be able to produce insoles more cost-effectively thanks to new software and the use of 3D printers. This approach means the mechanical properties of each insole can be assessed scientifically and more effectively.Is your shoe too tight? Normally you would just shift your weight to take the pressure off the area ...
