Replace the lab · Keep the margin

  • $90–$120+typical variable savings per pair vs many outsourced lab invoices
  • High-margin servicecash orthotics are often a profit center—not a pass-through lab cost
  • Same-day → few daysvs 2–4 week lab queues when you control design + print capacity

Illustrative ranges—always model your contracted lab fee, patient pricing, and true all-in in-house cost (materials, labor, software, depreciation).

For podiatry & orthotics clinics · Replace the outsourced lab

Design and print custom orthotics in-house

Replace your lab. Save $90+ per pair vs many lab invoices. Deliver same-day orthotics when printer + staffing fit.

Orthotic design software lets clinics design and manufacture custom orthotics in-house using 3D printing—eliminating outsourced lab pairs for many pairs, cutting turnaround from weeks to same-day when capacity allows, and keeping margin that used to leave the practice.

No credit card required · 7-day free trial · 5 orthotic designs included

Orthotics are a revenue line—not a lab pass-through

Cash orthotics commonly bill $300–$500 per pair while outsourced labs often invoice the clinic ~$80–$120. In-house production puts that spread in your control—especially when you compress turnaround from weeks to same-day.

Payback story

Model printer depreciation + software + pairs/month on the ROI section below—most clinics care about months to breakeven, not feature lists.

Why switch now

Patients expect speed. Labs add queue + shipping. Owning scan → CAD → print removes the middleman and remakes become easier and less costly when iteration is local.
