iPad portable 3d foot scanner

This is the optimisation model from techmed 3D. I think it is important to have a reference plane and this allows a semi weighted 3-d image to be captured.

We use the structure sensor and 3dsizeme app for capture and post process with msoft pre cad design.

I believe in eliminating the degree of subjectivity to the manufacturing process; this along with the adequate capture of the individual's conducive biomechanically sound/functioning foot posture (to reduce pathological forces) is of prime importance. However, I can't see why you think that a W.B scan would increase the degree of subjectivity involved (from your experience)... unless the clinician isn't achieving the above (highlighted) criteria (i.e. obtaining adequate correction). Surely the clinician performing the W.B scan is correcting the foot structure to a more biomechanically conducive posture... hence shouldn't thus need to... "drastically alter prescription parameters to achieve a desired orthotic shape" (unless such systems have been targeted towards... or are attracted by clinicians who have little idea... & subsequently contributing to the dumbing down of the orthotic assessment/manufacturing process).
