    Basic user knowledge of the Windows environment and, of course, of orthopaedics, are needed to follow the training on use of the Rodin4D rectification software.
Fraiseuses et robots
Questions fréquentes
  • Do I need a large production workshop/space to install a machine?
    Less than 10 m2 is the space needed to install a machine. Ask our teams for an adaptation, feasibility and implementation study for the reception of your first Rodin4D machine.
  • Which milling machine or robot is best suited to my needs?
    We invite you to consult our experts, who will personally advise you on the choice of equipment. Every organization is unique. We study your particular case and advise you on the best option for you. Contact us.
  • Is this production technique dangerous for me and my teams?
    The production technique poses no risk at all for either you or your teams. In fact, polyurethane is not toxic in this state. An anti-dust facemask is sufficient protection against foam particles inhalation.
  • How is the installation of the milling machine or the robot done?
    One or more Rodin4D specialized technicians will travel to your facilities, anywhere in the world. They will spend 2/3 days installing the machine (this is separate from the training). The COVID-19 situation has affected our travel policies. Contact us and together we will find an alternative solution to your problems. Contact us.
  • Once the production cycle is started, can it be stopped?
    The production cycle can be stopped and restarted at the same point where it was stopped.
  • Are all the file formats compatible with these machines?
    Most of the files used in CAD/CAM software are compatible with our machines (robots and milling machines). Ask our experts for more information.
  • What is the average time of a machining cycle?
    The average time depends on the volume of milling and the machine used. Here you can access a comparative table of the cycle times of the robots.
  • Are these materials environment friendly?
    We do constant research to improve the use of these materials. Our goal and commitment are to reduce the use of foam and to eventually eliminate its use altogether, to protect planet Earth.
  • What are the main materials used in milling?
    Flexible or rigid polyurethane foam is best. Order your foam blocks in the sizes compatible with your milling machine capacity.
  • Do I need specific skills to use the machine?
    Following purchase and installation of a machine, our experts provide full training on use. Training to use the robot takes 2-3 days. The milling machine requires just one day of training to use it on your own.
  • What are the main differences between a milling machine and a robot?
    The complexity of the forms to be milled is the main factor to consider when choosing one over the other. The milling machine can only machine tubular positive forms; the robot is effective for these and negative forms. The number of axes is a determining parameter in the choice of equipment. The Victor robot has 7 axes, and the milling machine has 2 – 3. Our sales team is available to help you decide on the choice best suited to your needs. Contact us.
Scanners
Questions fréquentes
  • Which scanner is compatible with management of plagiocephaly?

  • What body parts can be scanned?
    All (external) parts of the body can be easily scanned, with high precision results.
  • Is the laser used in the 3D scanner dangerous?
    Our 3D scanners use infrared technology (Structure Sensor) and structured white light scanning (M4D Scan). Neither is dangerous, and both are painless for patients.
  • What is the difference between Structure Sensor and M4D Scan?
    Our solution includes the choice between two 3D scanners. The difference between the two products is scan precision. Information on scan precision should help you determine which scanner is best for you. M4D Scan, a scanner designed for the medical community, offers higher precision in data capture, and also adjusts for slight patient movement during scans. Structure Sensor, combined with the CapteviaPlus App, is a functional and economic solution for orthopaedic technicians without prior CAD/CAM experience. Check out the CapteviaPlus demo app, download it for free to your iPad and start scanning. Contact us for more information.

  • What are the benefits of a CAD/CAM digital solution?
    Depuis le début de son histoire, le métier d'orthoprothésiste est un métier artisanal par excellence. Le technicien orthoprothésiste prépare les moulages de ses patients, sculpte les matériaux nécessaires pour réaliser l'appareillage et assemble et ajuste les différents éléments qui le composent. C'est un métier manuel, qui nécessite d'être habile, précis et minutieux. La CFAO (Conception et Fabrication Assistée par Ordinateur) a fait ses premiers pas dans le secteur de l'orthopédie vers la fin des années 90. Elle a permis aux orthoprothésistes de concevoir et de fabriquer des orthèses et des prothèses à l'aide d'un scanner 3D, d'un logiciel de rectification numérique et d'une machine-outil (fraiseuse ou robot). Son adoption n'a pas toujours été facile, et nombre d'orthoprothésistes avaient besoin d'être convaincu que cette méthode était efficace et qu'elle leur permettrait de conserver les bénéfices de leur expérience et de leur savoir-faire. Mais aujourd'hui, cette technologie a atteint sa maturité et est devenue incontournable. Grâce à elle, la qualité des appareillages s'est améliorée, les temps et les coûts de production ont été réduits, et contrairement aux idées reçues, elle permet aux techniciens de continuer à faire valoir un savoir-faire et une créativité qui leur est propre. L'orthoprothésiste est ainsi devenu un artisan du virtuel, car c'est en 3 dimensions qu'il réalise les corrections orthopédiques sur les appareillages. Et ce, pour le plus grand bonheur de ses patients, pour lesquels la prise de mesure est devenue indolore et quasi instantanée.
