Today, we have a special guest joining us on the podcast. Please join me in welcoming Alan Finnieston, an engineer,  clinician and pioneer in the field of orthotics and prosthetics.

Throughout his career Alan has been at the forefront of incorporating digital scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D printing techniques into the creation of orthotic and prosthetic devices. By harnessing the power of these cutting-edge tools, he has been able to enhance precision, customization, and overall patient satisfaction.

During our podcast episode, Alan will share his journey of embracing digital technology and the transformative impact it has had on his practice. Listeners will have the opportunity to learn about the various digital tools he employs, such as advanced 3D scanners that capture detailed measurements of patient anatomy. He will explain how these digital scans are seamlessly integrated into CAD software, allowing for precise and personalized orthotic and prosthetic designs.

We also dive heavily into socket design and alignment.

Special Thanks to our sponsors Advanced 3D and Gespodo.
