Hello again,

 

I am interested in looking into using CAD/CAM capture in my facility.

 

I only do Orthotics here, and am looking at using it for Cranial remolding,
AFO's (my flaccid adult population), KO's and possibly spinal applications.

 

I would not get a carver on site. I would prefer to have C-Fab carve the
modified positive mold for me and ship to my office where I would fabricate
on site.

 

Would appreciate any comments regarding the systems available. Being a
newbie to the CAD/CAM side of things, I know that there are at least 3
options.OWW Omega scanner, the Biosculptor and Can-Fit. Others I am missing
for my applications? Again, Orthotic only.we will never be in a position to
do Prosthetics out of this facility in this town.

 

Input much appreciated. I will post comments unless you prefer that I
don't.

 

Thanks
