Abstract

The foot orthotic insole market is forecast to surpass a value of 3.6 billion USD by 2021. This vast industry continues to rely on foam milling and other subtractive methods of manufacturing, which have proven to be wasteful and inefficient. Leaps in digital manufacturing have enabled the technology...
