How it works

From client list to 3D foot in about a minute

What a scan looks like, step by step, and how to get a good one.

  1. Choose the foot

    Open the client and tap New Scan. Choose Sole or Full foot, and Standard or Fine. Then tap the foot.

    ~5 seconds
  2. Scan around the sole

    Fit the sole to the on-screen outline, then move slowly under and around the foot. Voice and haptic cues keep you at the right distance.

    ~20–40 seconds
  3. Check the 3D mesh

    The phone builds the mesh with a colour photo texture. Turn it, check coverage, and rescan if you need to.

    a few seconds
  4. Save, export, design

    Scan the other foot. Both feet are saved to the client as one dated set. Send both feet at once: Share, Save to Files, Email.

Tips for a clean scan

  • Seat the client with the foot raised and the sole facing you.
  • Hold the iPhone with the screen toward the foot. The depth camera is next to the front camera.
  • Start at about 30 cm. Wait for the distance to turn green and the three dots to line up.
  • Move slowly. First under the sole, then tilt around: inside, outside, heel, toes.
  • Use Fine only when you need detail, and stay 20–25 cm from the sole.
  • Avoid strong direct sunlight on the foot.

Design the device in Plantar

  1. Upload the scan

    Add the STL to the client in Plantar. Landmarks are found for you.

  2. Pick a template

    Rigid 3/4 shell or full length. Load your own saved prescriptions.

  3. Shape it

    Heel cup, arch fill, thickness, forefoot, additions. Live preview.

  4. Check and download

    The manufacturing check runs, then download a print-ready STL.
