More about Brace-Maker 3D-CADAI Orthosis Software
Design digitally, step by step
Our AI-assisted 3D orthosis software simplifies complex design processes and makes it possible to calculate and visualise the exact shape of the orthosis before it is printed.
A guided step-by-step interface and intuitive sliders allow individual design aspects to be adjusted.
The software enables individual design without CAD skills and supports the comfort and fit of the orthosis.
Interactive demo
Configure an orthosis live
This is how easy designing with sliders is: change the length, hole pattern, wall thickness and material – the 3D model adapts instantly.

Benefits
Benefits of the guided orthosis software
Simple design process
A guided step-by-step interface and intuitive sliders make the design process simple and accessible. No CAD skills are required.
Cloud-based access
You do not need an expensive high-end PC or special hardware. The cloud-based software can be used from anywhere and on any device. All you need is a stable internet connection.
Data protection and security
All data is stored and processed securely in Germany in accordance with the GDPR and medical standards.
Centrally updated
Thanks to the cloud-based solution, the latest features and improvements are available without time-consuming updates or local installations.
Optimised design
AI-assisted algorithms optimise the design for material-efficient, high-quality FDM 3D printing.
Efficient workflow
The intuitive user interface reduces training time and speeds up the design process. Easy operation and quick adjustment options save time and costs.
Brace-Maker 3D-CAD
Precise design of orthoses and braces
With Brace-Maker, orthopaedic specialists and technicians can precisely plan and create orthoses and braces for 3D printing.
The starting point is a 3D body scan of the patient, which can be carried out with commercially available 3D sensors. The orthosis is individually adapted to the body contour; three-dimensional ventilation holes can also be modelled.
Brace-Maker enables topologically distributed patterns for ventilation structures, the adjustment of local wall thicknesses (skeletonisation), the creation of a consistent 3D solid model and export to standard file formats for CAD or slicer programs.
Technology partner
Developed on the basis of applied research
Brace-Maker is based on many years of research and was developed by the Gesellschaft zur Förderung angewandter Informatik (GFaI, Society for the Promotion of Applied Computer Science). As an exclusive partner, 3D-Medico offers this software solution for planning and creating orthoses and braces.

Benefits of Brace-Maker
Intuitive operation
The software is simple and user-friendly, so that orthoses and braces can be planned and created quickly and easily.
Tailor-made customisation
Thanks to 3D body scans and flexible modelling functions, patient-specific orthoses can be precisely adapted and optimised.
Efficient ventilation structures
Automated tools generate topologically distributed patterns for ventilation holes, thereby increasing wearing comfort.
Compatible 3D model generation
In just a few steps, a consistent, print-ready 3D solid model is created that can be exported directly to CAD or slicer programs.
Flexible extensions
The all-in-one software offers numerous customisation options that can be tailored to individual requirements.
Time and cost savings
From 3D scan to final modelling, Brace-Maker enables a flexible workflow that saves time and reduces costs.

Frequently asked questions about the orthosis software
Do I need CAD skills?
Not for the AI orthosis software: a guided step-by-step interface with sliders takes you through the design process. Brace-Maker is a full-featured 3D-CAD software for orthopaedic specialists and technicians who want to plan orthoses and braces precisely.
What hardware is required?
The AI orthosis software runs in the cloud via your browser – all you need is a stable internet connection. Brace-Maker runs on Windows (64-bit) with at least 8 GB RAM and an Nvidia or AMD graphics card with 4 GB memory and OpenGL 3.3.
Can I try Brace-Maker free of charge?
Yes. The trial licence runs for one month with full functionality – it may not, however, be used for the commercial production of customer orthoses.
Which formats can I export to?
Brace-Maker generates a consistent, print-ready 3D solid model and exports it to standard file formats for CAD and slicer programs.
How much does Brace-Maker cost?
In addition to the free trial licence, there is Basic for €200 per month (cancellable monthly) and Standard for €2,000 per year. Details can be found under Licence models.
Who developed Brace-Maker?
Brace-Maker is based on many years of research by the Gesellschaft zur Förderung angewandter Informatik (GFaI, Society for the Promotion of Applied Computer Science). 3D-Medico offers the software as an exclusive partner.
