CADCAM
CADCAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology has revolutionized the corset-making process, especially for the diagnosis of scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. This technology replaces the traditional, labor-intensive plaster casting method with a more accurate, efficient, and comfortable digital workflow.
The transition from traditional methods to CAD/CAM offers significant advantages for both patients and specialists:
- Higher precision and greater comfort: The digital scanning and design process ensures a more accurate representation of the patient’s anatomy, leading to more precise and comfortable corset production.
- Increased efficiency: The entire process is much faster. Scanning takes just a few minutes, and the digital design and production steps are quicker. This reduces production time and allows the corset to be provided to the patient in a shorter timeframe.
- Improved experience for the patient: Plaster casting can be uncomfortable and stressful for children and adolescents. The CAD/CAM method eliminates this issue.
-
Remote production capability: The digital nature of the workflow allows designs to be created in one location and sent to another production site, streamlining the process and making corset production more accessible.
