METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING CUSTOM SHOE INSOLES

摘要

The present invention includes a method for forming a custom-made insoleincluding thestep of positioning a foot to be measured on a scanning station. The scanningstation includes atleast one laser unit which is passed along an undersurface of the foot. Theundersurface of thefoot is scanned by the at least one laser scanning unit which measures thedetected surfacecoordinates of the undersurface. The measured surface coordinates areprocessed and transmittedto a computer. A milling station, in communication with the scanning stationand computer,includes a milling assembly for forming the custom-made insole. The computercontrols theoperation of the milling assembly based upon the coordinates determined by theat least one laserscanning unit.
