Fotoscan News 17 March 2008 For further details contact our sales department or click here for further information and sample files. 12 May 2007 1 December 2006 1 October 2006 16 March 2006 LastELF can handle every type of lastmaking operation, including amending a last by stick length, ball girth, centre line, feather edge and heel curve. You can also add heel and toe pitch, and create insole allowances. As well as modifying an existing last, you can use LastELF to create a new last directly from a scanned foot, including adding a standard toe shape. Available at a fraction of the price of most lastmaking systems, we believe LastELF is set to become the leading solution for orthopaedic and custom shoemakers. 21 June 2005» Free foot measurement software for FotoScan foot scans You can now download an outstanding 3D foot measurement software package completely free of charge. You can use it to import a foot scan in STL format and obtain every conceivable type of foot measure, including 2D measures (such as stick length) and 3D measures (ball girth, waist, instep, heel, etc). This new feature means that you can use FotoScan to massively improve the accuracy of a conventional bespoke shoemaking process. The scans can be supplied to the point of production and the lastmaker can use the software to obtain every measure they need to create the last, with absolute certainty of the accuracy level. The software is called RapidForm Basis and you can see a video of it in operation by following the link below. You can download the software free of charge by clicking here and a sample FotoScan STL file by clicking here. If you have any questions about running the system you are welcome to email us for free support. 22 April 2005 Terms and conditions are negotiable subject to the length of rental. Please contact our Sales Department for further details. 11 February 2005 STL can be imported by most leading CAD/CAM systems and is the preferred format of many. As well as supporting the new file format, FotoScan now includes a "units of measure" feature that allows the user to output to a scale compatible with any CAD system they are using. 18 October 2004 The key change is an upgrade of the projectors to enhance the capability of FotoScan to operate with high levels of ambient and distractive light. The more powerful projectors mean that FotoScan can now scan all shades of skin and sock colours in any level of ambient light. It is also largely impervious to distractive light. The scanner can now be positioned directly below overhead fluorescent lighting without it having any impact on performance. 20 September 2004 Nike are using FotoScan to explore ways of using 3D foot scanning in its retail outlets. They believe that the digital photography technology behind the FotoScan system will prove to be an attractive alternative to the more complex laser-based solutions. As well as looking in detail at the physical performance of the scanner Nike are also evaluating the Fotoscan retail interface. This has been developed to provide a simple and robust front end to the standard FotoScan software, allowing retail staff to run the system with a minimum of training and support. 25 August 2004 Using FotoScan they are able to obtain precise digital "casts"
of the patients' feet. These can then be directly imported into their
CAD/CAM system for fast and accurate last making. Using this approach
the company is able to significantly cut costs and deliver a pair of
orthopaedic shoes within a remarkable 6 working days of order. Although
it is faster and cheaper, the accuracy of the digital scan means that
there is no compromise on quality - the level of fit is at least as
high as the traditional manual process. |
