Doubling technician output with 3D orthotic software

Orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) clinics are under pressure to deliver personalized care to more patients while keeping costs low and maintaining quality. Many clinics experience stalls in growth not due to lack of demand or ambition but because of unseen bottlenecks in their existing production process.  

Technician time is one of the most valuable, yet most limited, resources in any clinic. When manual tasks like mold creation are slow, the entire workflow becomes difficult to scale. As more clinics seek to grow, the real barrier is not external but embedded deeply within their daily operations.

The hidden cost of outdated workflows

Most traditional workflows rely on technicians manually handling each step of the orthoses production process: scanning, segmentation, file generation, and 3D modeling. Even for skilled professionals, this often caps output at around 16 molds per day, per technician.  
Hiring more staff might seem like the obvious fix, but this creates additional training needs, increases overhead and slows momentum.  Delays experienced due to outdated processes do not just limit a clinic's output capacity but limit growth, efficiency and the ability to serve more patients without straining resources.

How Spentys optimizes manual processes  

Spentys simplifies every step of the orthoses production process with an intuitive, user-centric platform built for efficiency. Instead of juggling fragmented tools and getting frustrated by time-consuming manual steps, technicians gain full control within a single environment from scan to print-ready model.  

The software for 3D printed orthoses is accessible around the clock, provides performance at scale, and is designed to process data rapidly. These features transform hours of design work into just minutes, freeing up more time for patient care and less time spent on repetitive back-end tasks.  

Our platform is built to adapt to the specifics of each patient’s case. Every orthosis is designed to meet or exceed clinical standards, delivering consistent and high-quality results, even for the most complex designs. This consistency helps clinics achieve better outcomes without compromising precision.

Beyond automation, Spentys frees clinical teams from non-essential tasks. Technicians can spend more time focusing on critical, patient-centric work while maintaining full control over the quality of each device.

Doubling mold output with smart automation  

The results speak for themselves:

A central fabrication lab (CFAB) in Boston, Massachusetts saw a major boost in productivity after adopting Spentys’ mold automation tools. During the trial phase, the lab doubled its output, increasing from 16 to 32 molds per day without adding extra labor or compromising quality.

This transformation is made possible through:

  • Automated STL generation from scan data which minimizes manual modeling time  
  • Integrated workflow steps, allowing teams to manage the full design to print process within a single platform  
  • Built in quality control checkpoints to support consistent, high standard outputs  
  • Labeling and export automation, streamlining file management and reducing human error

With an intuitive interface and automation integrated into every stage, Spentys eliminates time-consuming, repetitive tasks – freeing technicians to focus on high value work instead of switching between software tools or manually labeling files. Technicians work within a streamlined, guided environment designed for clinical efficiency.  

Work smarter: Scaling with streamlined workflows

Growth does not have to mean expanding your team. With the right tools, you can expand your impact instead.  

With Spentys technology, O&P clinics empower their technicians to do more with less friction. Tasks that previously took hours now take minutes. Bottlenecks are eliminated, and teams are freed to focus on what matters most: delivering superior patient outcomes.  

As the field continues to evolve, adopting software for 3D printed orthoses and integrating automation is a practical step forward. With Spentys, clinics are not just keeping pace with change. They are building a stronger foundation for the future.
