The Prosthetics and Orthotics Podcast
The Prosthetics and Orthotics Podcast is a deep dive into what 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing mean for prosthetics and orthotics. We’re Brent and Joris both passionate about 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing. We’re on a journey together to explore the digitization of prostheses and orthoses together. Join us! Have a question, suggestion or guest for us? Reach out. Or have a listen to the podcast here. The Prosthetic and Orthotic field is experiencing a revolution where manufacturing is being digitized. 3D scanning, CAD software, machine learning, automation software, apps, the internet, new materials and Additive Manufacturing are all impactful in and of themselves. These developments are now, in concert, collectively reshaping orthotics and prosthetics right now. We want to be on the cutting edge of these developments and understand them as they happen. We’ve decided to do a podcast to learn, understand and explore the revolution in prosthetics and orthotics.

Origins of Digital Manufacturing in O & P with Alan Finnieston
Today, we have a special guest joining us on the podcast. Please join me in welcoming Alan Finnieston, an engineer, clinician and pioneer in the field of orthotics and prosthetics.
Throughout his career Alan has been at the forefront of incorporating digital scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D printing techniques into the creation of orthotic and prosthetic devices. By harnessing the power of these cutting-edge tools, he has been able to enhance precision, customization, and overall patient satisfaction.
During our podcast episode, Alan will share his journey of embracing digital technology and the transformative impact it has had on his practice. Listeners will have the opportunity to learn about the various digital tools he employs, such as advanced 3D scanners that capture detailed measurements of patient anatomy. He will explain how these digital scans are seamlessly integrated into CAD software, allowing for precise and personalized orthotic and prosthetic designs.
We also dive heavily into socket design and alignment.
Special Thanks to our sponsors Advanced 3D and Gespodo.
