EasyScan & TransferScan

EasyScan is Ottobock's handheld 3D scanner for O&P professionals — replacing plaster casting with millimeter-accurate real-time scans that feed directly into the iFab digital fabrication platform. TransferScan extends the system to capture both the shape and alignment of an optimized test socket, enabling a precise transfer to the definitive socket without manual remeasurement.

I designed the 3D printed housing for the EasyScan scanner, and am responsible for designing many of the manufactured products and guided workflows downstream from the scan — including the MyFit TT socket, MyFit TF digital foam models, the iconiq silicone liner and the MyCRO Band cranial helmet.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Approach

A prosthetist's work has always revolved around their hands — the scanner had to feel like a natural extension of them.

  • HARDWARE DESIGN · 3D PRINTED HOUSING

    Designed the two-part MJF PA12 scanner housing — lightweight structure, black-dyed, sized for a single-hand clinical grip. Additive manufacturing was the only route to the geometry and batch economics the product needed.

  • TRANSFERSCAN · ALIGNED SOCKET DIGITIZATION

    The TransferScan variant adds an easy-to-use hardware base for capturing both the shape and alignment of the optimized test socket for a precise, digital transfer to the definitive socket.

  • Downstream product portfolio

    Designed the products manufactured from the scan data, including the MyFit TT socket, MyFit TF digital foam models, the iconiq silicone liner and the MyCRO Band cranial helmet — each produced to order through the iFab Customer Center without plaster or molds.

  • End-to-end digital workflow

    The full chain — EasyScan capture → guided workflow for digital rectification → 3D fabrication → clinic delivery — is a system I contributed to at both the hardware and software levels, from first scan to fitted device.
