New 3D Printing Hub Opens To Supply US Orthotic Labs
iOrthotics USA announces its launch as a 3D printing central fab. This is a new venture between iOrthotics Australia, a 5 year veteran in 3D printing, and Hersco Ortho Labs, an experienced US manufacturer. The new company, located in Astoria NY, has invested in HP Fusion Jet technology. This is the 4th HP 3D printer for iOrthotics and their 1st located in the US. They took delivery of the first HP 5210 model to be used in O&P.
Cathal Kennedy company director said, “We have been investigating the benefits of 3D printing for several years and are delighted to be in partnership with iOrthotics, Australia. We have already made several thousand pairs through their Brisbane hub, so we know the amazing quality and substantial savings 3D printing delivers. Now that we are printing in New York we are accepting work from anywhere in North America.”
Dean Hartley, company director said, “We were overwhelmed with work from labs around the world and were nearing capacity with our 3 current printers in Brisbane. We were already printing large volumes for North America so opening this new hub on the Eastcoast is simply responding to market demand.”
The company is proud to be bringing this advanced technology to the production of orthotics. “3D printing allows greater design flexibility than traditional production methods, all while reducing landfill waste by over 95%! We have invested heavily in ensuring superior part quality and partnered with University institutions to validate our printed orthotics. The consistency and reproducibility of the product is unparalleled. It is the technology of the future - and it is available now” said Hartley.
iOrthoticsUSA accepts solid .stl design files through its online portal.
