Dear Colleagues,
We are having a discussion in our facility about the purchase of a CAD
system primarily for orthotic use. We currently use a computerized system
for both prosthetics and foot orthotics. So we are familiar with 'computer'
usage in this environment.
Our goal with the new system is not speed, although timely delivery is a
factor.
Space (lack of), portability and 'plaster free' are some of considerations
that are important to our clinicians.
We have been impressed with the Tracer CAD system but have limited exposure.
One of the major issues, from our perspective, is several orthotists who
have used the system have gone back to using P.O.P.
We are interested in getting in-put from clinicians/technicians who have
'hands on' experience with CAD systems and which CAD systems people find
most appropriate for orthotics.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to your responses.
