A  technician’s success story with Spentys Computer-Aided Design tools ______________________________________________________________________________

Transforming learning curves in Orthotics

For many clinics shifting toward digital workflows, learning how to design orthoses using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools can be one of the steepest parts of the journey. However, at Boston Orthotics & Prosthetics, a leading clinic in the United States, the story was different.  

With no prior CAD experience, one technician became a confident, independent user of Spentys software in just one month – an adoption process that typically takes up to six.  

This was not just a personal achievement, it was a powerful demonstration of how Spentys software empowers technicians to become more efficient, not replace them.

The challenge: learning curves slowed technician progress  

In most clinical environments, new digital tools can introduce more friction than freedom. The learning curve for CAD software is particularly notorious. As Bryan Craft, VP at Spentys explained during the webinar:  

‍ “If you go to most clinics today, you’ll see a technician working on 10 different things and learning a new software can feel like just one more obstacle.”

While many clinics recognize the need to digitalize, steep onboarding requirements often leave technicians stuck, delaying digital transformation instead of driving it forward.

Why central fabrication units choose Spentys  

Faced with these challenges, central fabrication facilities need more than just another digital platform - they needed a partner.  

Many choose Spentys for its intuitive design, tailored specifically for O&P workflows and for human centered onboarding process.

Spentys’ focus on usability and instilling a feeling of confidence in its users, paired with ongoing support, gives facilities the trust they need to roll out digital tools even to technicians with no prior CAD experience.  

‍
The result: Rapid, full digital confidence  

The transformation was immediate:  

“We’ve had someone who never used CAD before… and in one month, they were already fully autonomous using the Spentys software. That normally takes six months.”

Specifically, the technician quickly mastered the Pose feature - a tool designed to reposition a patient’s digital limb model more easily and accurately.  

Tasks that were once complex and time consuming became straightforward, enabling the technician to integrate digital workflows into their daily operations faster than industry norms.  

More than software: A full ecosystem  

‍
While Spentys software played a central role, the success various technicians also reflected the strength of the broader Spentys ecosystem:

• Tailored onboarding designed for faster, confident adoption

• Dedicated expert support from initial setup to daily use  

• A fully configurable platform built for orthotics and prosthetics clinics  

Spentys doesn't just provide digital tools – we build partnerships with clinics, empowering teams to achieve better outcomes faster, without sacrificing quality or clinical control.

As Bryan, Spentys VP summarized:  

‍“We develop technology to empower users to create better outcomes - not to replace them, but to support them in doing more of what they’re best at.”
