With improved living standards, attention to foot health is increasing. Excessive or uneven plantar pressure reduces foot comfort and quality of life, potentially leading to ulcers or even amputations, especially in diabetics.
// Current Solutions and Limitations: Pressure-reducing footwear can alleviate plantar pressure but mass-produced options are limited by individual differences in foot structure, making it difficult to effectively disperse pressure & prevent injuries.
// Need for Customization: Customized footwear offers significant pressure reduction but is typically expensive and time-consuming, mainly catering to those with severe conditions.
// Innovative Approach with 3D Printing: 3D printing technology can lower production costs and reduce lead times for pressure-reducing insoles. This project aims to identify the best 3D printing materials, methods, and lattice structures for creating effective insoles.
// Objective: Develop a 3D printing method for producing customized pressure-reducing insoles to improve pressure distribution, protect foot health, and reduce the risk of ulcers and amputations. This approach seeks to enable rapid design and customization of insoles, offering significant practical benefits.
