Step into the future, with us.
“It’s about time we started putting technology into our shoes… our feet deserve it.”
Watch Dr. Travis try 3D Orthotics on The Doctors Show!
We had the privilege of helping Dr. Travis Stork with his foot and first metatarsal arthritic pain with a custom pair of 3D printed orthotics to off-load the region and help reduce the symptoms! Thank you Travis for the opportunity to serve you, be part of your care, and bring to this new technology to the public. 
Making the impossible, possible.
For the first time, using precise bio-mechanical metrics, we're able to capture real-time data while you walk, and compile it to produce a high resolution model of your feet during stance and motion. The information captured from the HP 3D scanning and GAIT analysis system is then used by Materialize to generate a 3D printed insert that far exceeds any orthotic available today.There's a lot of “Awesomeness” going on here.
Perfectly Fitted
High resolution, 3D volumetric scanning of the foot and lower leg provide us with the most accurately fitted devices ever available. The quality of imaging is stunning and combined with the pressure plate GAIT analysis, becomes a powerful tool in our diagnostic process.
Intelligent Control
The honeycomb lattice structure of the 3D printed orthotics allows for a creative method of control. Varying stiffness direction of the lattice provides a first ever "dynamic" orthotic that has different properties throughout the GIAT cycle.
Environmentally Considerate
Traditional orthotic manufacturing has a lot of waste associated with it. The cast materials, the poured plaster mold, and the material waste for top covers and the functional plate are all eliminated with the digital scanning and 3D printing approach. Orthotics of the future create less waste.No more messy plaster or foam boxes.
With over 20 years of experience, we've tried most of the techniques to capture the structure of our patients feet and create their orthotics. Although these legacy techniques have proven reliable, and are still considered standards... they come with compromises. The magic behind this new generation of functional orthotics is the raw data captured. We are able to get an image of the foot, not only in a static position, but also in real time functioning. The power of this data when combined with smart algorithms that correct the foot virtually to provide a data drive correction model gives our patients the most precise orthotics ever available.
Traditional plaster casts capture the foot in the "neutral position" but are dependent on the skill, and attention to detail of the practitioner. More importantly, they're just messy... and if you've visited evo, you know we don't do messy!
Foam boxes are a quick and affordable way to capture the foot, but a significant margin for error, and rarely provide a quality impression. Most foam impressions capture a deformed foot, which creates orthotics made to fit the deformity, rather than correct it.
Scan, walk, and print.
3D Volumetric Scan
Using their expertise and over 30 years of experience building the best scanners, HP has developed the FitStation, a 3D volumetric scanning devices build for creating a high resolution rendering of the foot and lower leg. This laser scanner takes only a few seconds to capture a vivid 3D image of your foot.
Real-time GAIT Scan
Real time GAIT analysis using a high resolution pressure plate lets us capture function of your feet, and see the location and the intensity of pressure as you walk. This data can then be interpreted to confirm the diagnosis and develop solutions with a more precise orthotic prescription.
3D Orthotic Printing
All of the data is transferred to the 3D printing farm utilizing HP 3D printers. These devices can turn out thousands of pairs of orthotics per day. Beginning with only beads that are turned into a honeycomb lattice structure which morphs into a custom pair of orthotics made specifically for the patient.Special Features
Simpler Recovery
Our procedures are designed to help get the patient back to life faster than traditional foot surgeries. On average patients wear a surgical shoe for 2 weeks, and athletic shoes for 2 more weeks. During the recovery time, the patient is functional and able return to the majority of their day to day tasks.
Complimentary Concierge
Coordinating a surgical procedure is complicated. Our patient concierge is there for you. To answer all of your questions, and take care of all the things you need, to feel confident and supported in your endeavor. At evo, you’re not alone.
Surgeon Access
The key word in the “patient doctor relationship” is relationship… and every healthy relationship is based on communication. It’s why we’ve always been directly available to our patients, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No answering service, no barriers. Send message here
Included Accessories
We take our craft seriously, and appreciate that part of your success, is having the resources you need to heal without challenges. So all our patients receive a complimentary post op kit that includes all the tools they need to succeed. It’s our gift to you, for the privilege of serving you. Learn more about the post op kit here.
Premium Experience
In today’s high speed world, it’s refreshing to work with companies that value people more than time clocks. This has been one of the core principles at evo form the beginning. We schedule linear, not stacked. Every one of our patients is a VIP… concierge medicine, without the concierge fee.
Financial Options
The financial landscape of healthcare is always changing, and not in the favor of the patient. We believe that everyone deserves an evo foot, so we have multiple options for our patients, from using their health insurance for covered procedures, to using low or no interest payment plans. Regardless of the challenges, we’re here to help you experience the evo way.
Important Notes
(1) The term “legacy” used in reference to procedures that use traditional K-Wire fixation and incisions on top of the toe.
(2) K-Wires protrude from the tip of the toe and are usually kept in for 4-8 weeks depending on healing; during this time the portal of entry is at risk for infection.
(3) Some skin types are more prone to scarring than others; discuss your previous surgical history or scars with your surgeon before proceeding with surgery.
(4) This time estimate is based on the average patient, you may heal slower or experience increased swelling delaying the ability to wear regular shoes and return to normal activity.
(5) This time estimate is based on an average patient healing rate, and the kind of work you do. Your occupation may require more time for the healing to complete. Please discuss this with your surgeon before proceeding.
(a) Average patient recovery compared to traditional techniques that require K-Wire fixation, or cast immobilization.
(b) Incision must be healed before sutures can be taken out and foot can get wet, this time can vary.
(c) Inflammatory response and swelling can increase this time, steps will be taken to reduce if symptoms present.
(d) Stem cell treatment is utilized when determined necessary by surgeon during pre-op consultation.
