CAD-CAM B.I. System

B.I.S. (Baropodometric Insoles System) is the CAD-CAM professional system for computerized insoles manufacturing, a many years experienced tool gained by Imago by cad-cam management.

Simple and easy to use it offers a high quality standard at the lowest costs.

A Cad-Cam professional system like this can have many advantages for both user, patient and who prescribes. Here you find some advantages for the user::

• improves and modernizes the image of your own activity ;
• gives more added value to your activity;
• increases the profitability for every single client;
• increases the number of clients and people who prescribe;
• allows to spare till up 80% time of manufacturing compared with the insole cast mould;
• can make projects based on different acquisitions from baropodometry, from scanner or laser as well);
• gives the possibility to make computerized dynamic insoles (from the baropodometric step footprint);
• gives a close corrispondence between baropodometric investigation and insole;
• increases the possibility to get a better foot unloading;
• shortens the delivery time (from the check order till the delivery of the ready insole = 45 minutes) ;
• gives the possibility to reproduce forms;
• reduces dusts;
• gives the possibility to get a perfect insole duplicate;
• and more...

Some advantages toward the patient:

• more time available for the patient;
• a better interface with the patient;
• better therapeutic efficacy;
• better quality and better work done;
• customer satisftaction increase;
• spare time with the second pair of insoles;
• shortens the waiting time;
• and more...

Here you find some advantages towards people who prescribee:

• better links and precision between prescription and final goal;
• a technology for many pathologies;
• better comunication;
• better therapeutic efficancy;
• and more...

CAD-CAM SYSTEM EQUIPMENT

• WINPOD electronic podometer to check the postural static and multistep dynamic;
• WINSCAN 2D e 3D Scanner to have the foot image;;
• 3D laserSCANDesk to gain the tridemensional picture of solid objects: from the forms to phenolic foams;
• DTM (Desktop Modelling) software for professional project;
• EASY-FOOT software for a quicker insole project;
• IMAGO CNC 4030 milling machine high performance machine,versatile, trustful, milling speed and noiseless with no comparison. Different materials milling, from the very smooth ones to the toughest. Milling with a very low thickness “millimetric”!

Making technic of the CAD-CAM insole orthesis.

Lhow to gain the foot picture:

• by using of the WINPOD baropometric footboard, just starting with a simple baropodometric recording ( on free choice: static, dynamic or postural);
• by using the flat WINSCAN scanner, that allows to gain the patient’s foot picture both upright and sit down;
• by using the 3D laser, to retrieve the pictures from the phenolic foam, from the choak mould, from an already worked insole or just to retrieve corrective tools such as back bars, metatarsal supports, etc.

Such pictures can also be automatically reproduced in 1:1 shape, singularly or overlapped between them, through the CAD “DTM” project software, to perform directly on them the tailor made insole orthesis.

DFrom now onwards you can chose the kind of project:

• with points (schemes) as you simulated the project on freehand;
• with standard elements taken out from the library (e.g: metatarsal crown, longitudinal, back bars etc.) to put into the project;
• according to the framework starting with the insole prototype you can find in the library.

During the project there are some key-tools which let us make the project easier and quicker, such tools are to be found in a special “bookstore”, with them it is possible to:

• choose the plantar template ;
• measure the insole in cm. or according to shoe size;
• measure in every single point of the insole heights/thickness;
• have different section displays;
• convert the insole file to AVI format (tridimensional animation);

After project it is possibile to select the kind of material and shape to be worked:

• rough flared;
• maxi module;
• plate.

Now you can “virtually” integrate the insole project with Cad and then send it to the milling server (CAM).

Firstly you put the material into the miling machine, secondly the milling process gets starting by pressing and then the insole is ready in 15/20 minutes.

You have only to remove the template on the edges and then coat it... EVERYTHING IS READY! And the insole also!
