Application of CAD/CAM Systems for Insole Production

The application of CAD/CAM systems for production of insoles, which started 15 years ago, brings a lot of adavntages. This papers gives an short overview about biomechanical characteristics of the foot which directly implies the features of the future insole. Because of the unity of each foot, the principle of universality, i.e. confectional production of insoles does not give the expected results. Therefore, the advantage is given to production of insoles according to the clinical and pedobarographic finding of the individual. It also includes the necessity of measurement of static and dynamic stresses on the foot. The paper presents the phases in production of insoles by applying CAD/CAM, and gives an comparison with classical procedure of production. It also presents the developed CAD/CAM system, enabling efficient interfacing of all production phases. The system is developed by applying Open GL and Visual C++, and consist of five modules: data base, module for processing and presentation of measured data, module for presentation of the foot RTG pictures, module for modification and adjustments of standardized insoles, and postprocessor.
