VORUM, Our Newest Scanning Technology!
Earlier this year, our practitioners participated in a week long training to familiarize themselves with the VORUM Scanning technology. We've learned a ton and are excited to be using this scanner with our patients! Here's a little bit about how this new technology works.
3D Scanning with the Vorum Spectra scanner is a faster, more accurate, and less messy process. No plaster or fiberglass is required.
-The process begins with the patient changing into a body sock or stockinette that the practitioner can draw marks on for reference on the 3D computer program for modifying.
-The patient will be advised to hold in a specific position.
-A blue square will be emitted onto the patient. The blue square is radiation free and safe. Thousands of pictures are being taken to be put together as a 3D shape onto the computer.
-The practitioner will walk around with the handheld scanner making sure all the important areas are captured.
-After scanning, the 3D model will be available in real time on the computer screen.
-The practitioner will clean up any artifacts that causes the 3D scan to be messy or not representative of the patient.
-Once the 3D model represents the patient in a nice clean model, the practitioner will save the shape and the shape will then be sent to the 3D computer program to be modified further to include the proper corrections necessary for the patient.
-The final modification is then sent to a carver that will carve out the model out of hard foam to use for fabricating the device.
