Replace the lab · Keep the margin

  • $90–$120+typical variable savings per pair vs many outsourced lab invoices
  • 70–90% marginscommonly cited on cash-pair orthotics when you keep the lab margin
  • Same-daydevices in-clinic vs 2–4 week lab turnaround—when printer + staffing fit

Orthotics are not a cost center—they are a high-margin clinical service when you own design + production. Numbers vary by payer mix and shop cost—use our calculators to stress-test yours.

Orthotic Design Software for Clinics

Turn clinical findings into consistent, condition-specific orthotic designs — without needing CAD expertise.

ArchSpline provides a protocol-driven workflow that connects exam, prescription, and geometry — so orthotics become a reliable part of care, not an inconsistent add-on.

Orthotic design software lets clinics design and manufacture custom orthotics in-house using 3D printing—eliminating outsourced lab pairs for many pairs, cutting turnaround from weeks to same-day when capacity allows, and keeping margin that used to leave the practice.

The Problem Isn't Orthotics — It's Designing Them Consistently

Most clinicians believe in orthotics. But many do not prescribe them consistently.

Not because they do not work — but because translating a clinical exam into a specific mechanical design can feel unclear, inconsistent, or dependent on external labs.

The result is predictable:

  • Generic or non-specific prescriptions
  • Heavy reliance on outsourced labs
  • Or orthotics being underutilized entirely

The gap is not clinical knowledge. It is the lack of a system that connects that knowledge to a reproducible design.

A Protocol-Driven Workflow for Orthotic Design

ArchSpline transforms orthotic design from a manual, variable process into a structured workflow:

1. Clinical Input

Capture exam findings, diagnosis, and prescription intent — not just foot shape.

2. Protocol Mapping

Built-in design logic translates clinical inputs into specific orthotic features and geometry.

3. Device Generation

Generate a patient-specific orthotic ready for manufacturing — without manual CAD modeling.

This allows clinics to produce consistent, condition-specific devices — regardless of prior CAD experience.

What Changes When Design Becomes Consistent

Clinical Impact

  • More confident prescribing decisions
  • Condition-specific orthotic designs
  • Improved patient consistency and outcomes
  • Reduced reliance on subjective or generic templates

Operational Impact

  • Reduced dependence on external labs
  • Faster turnaround (days instead of weeks)
  • Lower per-device production cost
  • Higher utilization of orthotics within the clinic

Business Impact Follows Utilization

Clinics that implement structured orthotic workflows often see increased usage — which naturally improves revenue, margins, and efficiency.

What clinicians are saying

Feedback from podiatry and orthotic design specialists using ArchSpline in practice.

New version is amazing. You created a cool program for new feet morphology and individual insoles design! Amazing Bryan!
