Firefly orthoses are custom made foot orthoses designed and manufactured using advanced computer technology (CADCAM / computer aided design – computer aided manufacture). Each device is formed on a manually or digitally “dressed mould” of foot impressions sent to us. (Manually via vacuum forming thermoplastic or digitally via CNC milling). We do not use a “library” of shapes or any variation of a pre-moulded shell.

Firefly operates AOMS laser scanning of casts or impression boxes. This allows practitioners to choose traditional standard or direct milled prescription foot orthoses. CADCAM direct milling of polypropylene blocks produces custom made prescription foot orthoses. CADCAM milling of positive models produces vacuum formed thermoplastic and carboplastic custom made prescription foot orthoses.

Firefly uses a manual ‘state of the art’ automated fabrication stream, utilising Sharp Shape’s Automated Orthoses Manufacturing System (AOMS). AOMS consists of a cast scanner; digital corrections workstations and computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling equipment.
