Entry level

These plug-and-play footscan systems are affordable without sacrificing performance. They’re easy to transport in the optional travel case.

  • 0.5 meter
    The smallest entry-level pressure plate. Ideal for travel or standing tests.
  • 1 meter
    This larger plate captures a complete gait cycle. It’s ideal for balance measurements like golf swings.
  • 1.5 meter
    This option is a professional solution for gait and running research. It’s durable and features a new black housing design.

Advanced level

These high-speed footscan systems offer more scanning power and a selection of plate sizes. Take precise plantar pressure measurements with high-density sensors at a high scanning rate.

  • 1 meter
    This plate’s high-speed measurements and length offer more comfortable and realistic measurements with no need to target the footsteps. This system includes our 2D interface box.
  • 2 meter
    Capture multiple steps at high speed. This system includes our 2D interface box.

Materialise SAM — The 3D Scanning App

SAM brings gold-standard 3D scanning to your iOS device, helping you analyze your patients on the go with no equipment necessary. Use various protocols to scan your patients' feet and lower limbs, lasts, foam boxes, and more, then send it all directly to your footscan software for further analysis.

Compatible devices

SAM is available for the following iOS devices:

  • iPhone 12 (all models)
  • iPhone 13 (all models)
  • iPhone 14 (all models)
  • iPad Pro 11 inch (2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation)
  • iPad Pro 12.9 inch (4th, 5th, and 6th generation)
  • Find out which model you have 

3D scanning protocols

SAM includes easy-to-follow guided protocols for the most common 3D scans:

  • Foam box
  • Plantar surface unloaded
  • Plantar surface loaded
  • Foot unloaded

Fully compatible with footscan software

SAM is easy to integrate into your regular workflow. Start your session by scanning a QR code in your footscan software, complete the 3D scan using your iOS device, then upload it securely and directly to footscan to begin your analysis and insole design*.

*This feature is only available for users with a SAM license.

Quality of life features

SAM is easy to use. Begin your scan with the press of a button, via voice commands, or using a timer for a delayed start.

Accessories

Interface box

2D interface boxes are required for advanced level systems and 3D interface boxes are required for high-end level systems. The 3D interface box allows you to sync and trigger inputs and outputs, and integrate third-party products such as force plates, EMG systems, and motion capture through high-speed cameras.
