Luc Boronat, head of the digital division at the Eqwal Group and CEO of Qwadra, discusses his journey and insights on the meticulous balance between clinician responsibility and design automation in the prosthetic and orthotic industry.
Join us as we explore the story of a visionary who has reshaped the Orthotics and Prosthetics industry through innovative CAD/CAM solutions. From humble beginnings with a ZX80 computer to creating digital tools that replaced outdated plaster models, this journey showcases the power of blending engineering with clinical expertise. Discover how these tools evolved from internal innovations to marketable solutions, addressing real-world clinician challenges and ultimately shaping a company that supports Certified Prosthetist-Orthotists globally.
In the realm of advanced 3D printing in orthotics, we delve into the use of foaming TPU material for custom insoles. Learn about the clever solutions developed to maintain printer functionality in continuous operations and the strategic positioning of soft insoles in the European market versus global preferences.
