What has changed:
A vapor smoothing option has been added.
How it affects you:
Offers a higher quality finish but requires planning for the additional production time.
How to use it:
Select the vapor smoothing option during the design phase if the improved finish is desired, keeping the extended delivery time in mind (2 days extended delivery time).
What has changed:
The introduction of configurable beltloops that users can add anywhere on the AutoForma or FreeForma model.
How it affects you:
Provides the flexibility to enhance the functionality and wearability of designs by adding beltloops precisely where needed.
How to use it:
Within the AutoForma or FreeForma model design interface, select the option to add beltloops, and then choose their preferred locations and configurations to customize the model to your or your client's requirements.
What has changed:
The app interface now supports white labeling, allowing businesses to customize their appearance with their branding and color scheme. This feature enables a more personalized and professional presentation for end users.
How it affects you:
This customization option provides an opportunity to enhance brand visibility and user experience by directly integrating your unique brand identity into the app interface.
How to use it:
Contact your Spentys representative for more information.
What has changed:
Integration with Comb3D scan technology has been introduced, allowing users to import 3D scans directly via an API. Comb3D technology offers easy-to-use 3D scanning capabilities, using the iPhone's front-facing camera to capture detailed scans of patients' anatomy for custom orthotic and prosthetic design.
How it affects you:
This integration with Comb enhances the orthotic creation process by leveraging Comb's Iphone-based 3D scanning technology. By importing accurate 3D scans from Comb directly into Spentys design software, you gain a streamlined workflow that saves considerable time and resources.
How to use it:
To leverage the Comb3D import feature, simply initiate a scan using the Comb app on your compatible iPhone device. After completing the scan, it's seamlessly saved and can be directly imported into Spentys software from the Comb app itself without the need for desktop intervention. This direct import capability streamlines your workflow, allowing you to quickly and easily incorporate accurate 3D patient scans into the Spentys software.
What has changed:
A new integrated closing system option has been introduced for H1/2, W1-4, and A1-4 prints that use MJF/TPU materials, offering enhanced design flexibility and functionality.
How it affects you:
This addition allows for a more seamless and secure closure mechanism on these specific product models, improving the overall fit and comfort for the end-user. It's particularly beneficial for creating customized orthotic and prosthetic devices that require precise closure systems for optimal performance.
How to use it:
This feature is only available if you choose the option "Spentys designer". When choosing H1/2, W1-4, and A1-4 models, you'll find an option to select the integrated closing system in the design interface. Choose this option to implement the system into your design
What has changed:
A, H, W, and Q products now feature an additional design step that allows users to specify the exact locations for closures and combine multiple closing system configurations, providing unprecedented customization.
How it affects you:
This update significantly enhances the ability to tailor products to individual user requirements, ensuring a perfect fit and greater functionality. The new step offers the possibility to combine different closure types and positions, accommodating a wide range of needs and preferences.
How to use it:
Only available if you select the "Spentys designer" option. For A, H, W, and Q products, you'll encounter a new step dedicated to the closing system. Here, you can specify locations for closures and select from various configurations. This step offers intuitive tools to precisely define how and where the closures will be integrated into the product, allowing for detailed customization.
What has changed:
An extra step has been added to the design process for AFOs, capturing essential information such as the patient's height, weight, clinical profile, and activity level.
How it affects you:
This update allows for a more tailored approach to designing ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), ensuring that each device is perfectly suited to the individual needs and characteristics of the patient. By integrating this personal health data into the design, you can achieve a higher level of customization and functionality.
How to use it:
In the AFO design interface, you'll find the new "AFO Patient" step. Here, input the relevant patient details to inform the design process. This information will be used to guide the customization of the AFO, ensuring it meets the specific needs of the patient, from fit to function.
What has changed:
The way thicknesses are defined in the AFO design process has been updated. Instead of specifying thickness in millimeters, options are now described in terms of their effect (e.g., "flexible" or "extra rigid").
How it affects you:
This change simplifies the AFO design process by allowing you to select materials based on the desired outcome rather than precise measurements. It helps in making more intuitive decisions regarding the functionality and flexibility of the finished product.
How to use it:
Only available if you select the "Spentys designer" option. When adjusting thicknesses in your design, look for the new options categorized by effect. Choose the descriptor that best matches the intended use and performance of the AFO, such as "flexible" for devices requiring more adaptability or "extra rigid" for those needing greater support.
