O&P End-to-End Digital Workflows
Innovative solutions to speed up production and put the patient first
The Future of O&P is DIgital
In the Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) industry, the gap between a patient's need and their solution should be as narrow as possible. While many clinics begin their digital journey with a single piece of technology, a truly optimized facility requires a cohesive, end-to-end workflow.
GoEngineer partners with industry leaders, including Stratasys, HP, Formlabs, and Artec 3D to deliver a modular system that scales with your clinic. Whether you are a private practice or a major hospital network, our workflow adapts to your specific volume and patient requirements.
Digital Workflow
Why Transition to a Digital Workflow?
Patient Experience
Move beyond messy plaster casting and multiple patient visits. Digital workflows utilize fast, non-contact 3D scanning to significantly improve the clinical experience.
Production Speed
While manual fabrication typically takes days or weeks, a digital approach offers the potential for same-day or next-day turnaround.
Design Flexibility
Break free from the limitations of manual tool capabilities. 3D technology enables the creation of complex geometries and high-performance lattice structures.
Data Storage
Replace physical molds that require massive storage space with secure digital files. All patient data is stored safely in the cloud for instant retrieval.
Customer Story: How ACULP is Redefining the Possible in Prosthetics
By adopting a 90% digital workflow, the Atlantic Clinic for Upper Limb Prosthetics (ACULP) have quadrupled production speed and achieved a level of personalization once considered impossible.
Read the full customer story to discover how ACULP moved from "archaic" methods to a high-speed, engineering-led future.
Proven Scan-to-Solution Workflow
Capture & Design
The journey begins by replacing traditional plastern with high-resolution 3D scanners, which capture patient anatomy in seconds with incredible detail. These digital scans are then modified using specialized design software to achieve anatomical precision, ensuring a perfect fit for the patient every time.
Software & Preparation
To bridge the gap between design and fabrication, Materialise software is utilized to optimize the digital files. This stage automates the preparation process and ensures the structural integrity of every device before it ever reaches the printer.
Scalable 3d Printing
Clinics can choose from a range of scalable solutions, from the biocompatible materials of Formlabs to the high-volume production capabilities of HP Multi Jet Fusion and the industrial reliability of Stratasys systems. The workflow is designed to grow with your facility, allowing you to start with a single desktop unit or expand to a full-scale production floor as your volume increases.
Post-Processing & Finishing
A patient-ready device must be both aesthetic and durable, which is why we integrate DyeMansion and PostProcess technologies into the workflow. These tools automate the final stages of cleaning, surfacing, and colouring to ensure a high-quality refinement for every finished product.
Implementation, Training & Expert Integration
Purchasing hardware is only the first step. We provide on-site training and implementation to ensure your clinical team is fully prepared to operate and maintain the machinery. By integrating these tools into your existing workflows, we help minimize downtime and maximize patient throughput from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The system is designed to be modular and adapts to your specific patient volume and requirements. You can begin your digital journey with a single desktop unit and scale up to a full-scale production floor as your facility's needs increase.
