FIF – The Feetinform Software

Feetinform is a highly professional software for shoe orthopedic technology that helps you design and produce customized shoe insoles based on your customers’ 3D footprint. This high-performance software also includes a CRM solution for managing customer data, orders, measurements and designs, as well as data and information management.

In both variants, FIFse and FIFpro, our 3D measuring devices, Spike and Kobra, are automatically at your service and enable you to scan soles or footprints in the foam box immediately. The measurement can be triggered on both devices either by a mouse click or by a button on the Spike or with a remote control on the Kobra. This allows you to hold the patient’s foot in a corrected position during the foot measurement and start the measurement immediately.

The measuring principle of Spike is perfectly adapted to the requirements of orthopedic shoe technology. With a total of 1055 touch sensors, the foot sole is scanned with uniform pressure, from which a digital 3D footprint is automatically created.

The unique part about measuring with the Kobra is that it does not need to be moved during the measurement. With just one click, you receive an already aligned, cleaned and smoothed digital 3D footprint within one second.

Measurements from other 3D scanners can also be imported into the software via the STL import, where they are automatically aligned, cleaned up and smoothed. This feature is especially helpful if you have a blemished measurement.

FIF CAD

Both software variants, FIFse and FIFpro, offer the option to be used with or without the CAD module. The CAD module in both variants offers the same functionality and allows you to model individual insoles based on your customer’s 2D or 3D measurements. Upon installation, you will receive our standard libraries of model templates, corrections and outlines. We recommend that you adapt these to your specific fitting requirements and save them in your own library, supported by our 3D tools.

Our model templates are adaptive and automatically adjust to the foot size and geometry. You only need to create one model template per insole type. With a single click, you can create a custom insole from a measurement.

The included corrections are organized in different libraries, including basic shapes, negatives, sensorimotor, simulant and others. You have numerous options to customize these corrections to your individual needs.

STL-Export

If you want to use your own insole milling machine or a 3D printer to produce the insole, you can export the constructed insoles in STL format. You can then load these STL files into your NC code generator or slicer software.

Production Center

The “Send to Production Center” feature acts as your extended workbench and allows you to export anonymized production jobs to MILL Center or 3D Print Center. This option is ideal for getting started, for smaller quantities, or as a supplement to your own production. The measurement and design of the insoles remain in your hands. You save the initial costs for the hardware as well as costs for maintenance, personnel and warehousing. This results in increased liquidity, as orders are charged at the end of the month.

Production with FIFpro

A MILL module is also available for “FIFpro” to create milling files for the milling machine. This module supports most CNC milling machines and allows a variable number of slots/pairs. The milling strategy, including speed, use of a border and quality, can be customized to your needs. The generated NC file is saved directly to the folder of the milling machine. The creation of the milling file is registered in PPM to ensure that a job is not produced more than once, especially in the case of centralized or outsourced production. When installing the software, you will also receive a complete configuration for our “Hamster” insole milling machine (4 pairs).

The STL generator is available exclusively for “FIFpro” and is similar to the NC generator. Compared to the STL export, it allows the export of any number of pairs. The position and alignment of the slots can be freely configured. This export action is also registered in PPM to ensure that an order is not produced more than once.
