Further expanding on our previous episode regarding 3D printed foot orthotics, today I am joined by Niels den Otter, Co-Founder and CEO of LutraCAD. LutraCAD is an intuitive software for designing foot orthotics/insoles for 3D printing or CNC milling, as well as shoe lasts to build shoes over the top of. Niels explains how LutraCAD takes the design side of things one step further and actually has slicer settings built into the backend of the software so that you can seamlessly go from design to printing knowing that they have tested those settings on a particular printer with a particular material. This is a big step toward assisting the adoption of 3D printing within the medical field, as these clinicians who might be more comfortable with the designing, do not feel as comfortable with the slicing. Being able to download a .gcode direct from different design software is something fairly scarce right now, and LutraCAD is leading the charge on this front. To that we say well done!
