At present, most of the orthopedic insoles on the market adopt traditional manufacturing methods, and the process is cumbersome and expensive, mainly including manual manufacturing and CNC machining.
Among them, the manual manufacturing is hand-polished by the orthopedics, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has a long manufacturing cycle and cannot be mass-produced. CNC machining is subtractive material manufacturing with large material waste, expensive equipment, large floor space, complicated operation, and the processing process is noisy, dusty and extremely environmentally friendly. These traditional manufacturing methods can not make the orthopedic insole popular and widely applied.

eSUN aims at these features of orthopedic insole industry and applies years of experience in 3D printing materials and equipment, successfully developed 3D printing materials and 3D printers for orthopedic insole production, which created the first medical insole 3D printing system in China.
iSUN3D medical insole 3D printing system, The first in China
iSUN3D medical insole 3D printing system has greatly improved the efficiency, productivity, quality and cost of similar systems. eSUN also applied for patented technology, using 3D scanning to obtain user foot data, applying high soft TPU material and iSUN3D FLX printer to print a pair of insoles that are completely suitable for the user’s foot type to fix and maintain the foot health. Here are the details steps:
Matched with eSUN eTPU-95A filament
eTPU-95A has high flexibility and high resilience, which will greatly reduce the permanent deformation rate of the material. At the same time, it has moisture permeability and hydrolysis resistance, so that insoles can be washable and survive cold and warm conditions. It is highly transparent with higher flexibility and hardness to ensure stable print size and shape. As an environmentally friendly material, it prints smoothly with no odor and no need to heat the bottom plate when printing. The surface of the product is also easy to color.
The material is bio compatible, safe and environmentally friendly and iSUN3D FLX printer can print fast. Due to the breakthrough of 3D printing technology, the insole printing time has been shortened from 30 hours to 30-60 minutes, and the system is integrated and easy to operate. Undoubtedly, this technology will greatly improve the traditional manufacturing modes of hand-made and CAM.

Taking advantage of 3D printing and sharing eSUN’s innovative resources
eSUN takes advantage of its own materials, integrates global resources to develop a foot scanning—design—3D printing—post-processing system and put it into practical use. It has established orthopedic insole design and 3D printing processing center in Shenzhen and Hubei Xiaogan. eSUN hopes to build a scanning franchise network and a centralized design center by establishing a centralized print service center, thus forming a complete print service center—design center—distributed scanning network system. iSUN3D orthopedic insole 3D printing solution seamlessly interfaces with eSUN 3D printing system, and share eSUN design center and 3D printing processing center.
The scanning and design of current insoles are relatively mature on the market, and orthopedic insoles are no longer only hand-made or CAM manufactured. The unique creation of eSUN 3D printing insole system completely replaces the traditional orthopedic insole manufacturing process. Different from the production of CAM orthopedic insole, it has the following advantages:
(1) Save manpower, no rely on CAM engineer;
(2) Save materials, reduce CAM material waste;
(3) Focus on environmental protection, no CAM noise and exhaust pollution;
(4) Improved performance,TPU has better resilience than EVA , using hollow structure to guide moisture and sweat.
In the future, breakthroughs in 3D printing technology will significantly improve the production of traditional orthopedic insoles.
(1) If you already have a foot scanner, eSUN will provide comprehensive design and printing services;
(2) If you have a foot scanner and the ability to design insoles, eSUN will provide print manufacturing services;
(3) If you have non of the above but intends to enter the insole medical field, eSUN will provide comprehensive training and a full affiliate program.
Open platform, shared business! iSUN3D orthopedic insole 3D printing solution now invites agent franchisee and also provides a large number of insole printing services.
