Wimba Case Study on 3D Printed Orthotics

This case study details Wimba's innovative approach to developing custom orthotics for companion animals using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology. The objective is to improve pet mobility through a streamlined digital workflow that enables veterinarians to quickly order tailored orthotics. Wimba's V-OP solution incorporates a unique software platform that allows for accurate limb scanning and order submission. The study outlines the challenges faced in traditional orthotic manufacturing, such as the time-consuming plaster casting process and difficulties in achieving a proper fit. By leveraging 3D printing, Wimba has created a more efficient system that reduces the time taken to capture measurements and produce orthotics. The case study highlights the benefits of Wimba's approach, including improved quality, speed-to-market, and comfort for pets. The use of advanced materials and design freedom allows for lightweight, functional orthotics that enhance the quality of life for animals with musculoskeletal issues.
