Abstract

This article presents the development and implementation of the IPASIOU automated system for producing orthopaedic insoles. The IPASIOU system utilizes CAD/CAM technologies, digital scanning, and automated manufacturing processes to enhance the quality and availability of individually made orthopaedic insoles. The paper discusses the technological solution, results, and implications of the IPASIOU system, highlighting its potential for advancing the fields of orthotics and prosthetics.
