Revolutionizing Orthotics and Prosthetics with EinScan Medixa 3D Scanner

SHINING 3D, a developer of 3D scanning technology, has launched the EinScan Medixa, an all-in-one, wireless 3D scanner designed specifically for orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) applications. By integrating precision scanning, onboard processing, and seamless data export, EinScan Medixa streamlines O&P workflows, making them faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

Traditional O&P methods, such as plaster casting, tape measurements, and manual modeling, are time-consuming, messy, and often uncomfortable for patients. EinScan Medixa introduces a fully digital, contact-free workflow that reduces case time from 5 hours to just 1 hour while improving accuracy and patient experience. Its movement compensation technology ensures reliable, precise data capture even with slight patient movements, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as infant cranial helmets or torso scanning.

EinScan Medixa integrates scanning, processing, and data output into a single portable device. Clinicians no longer need external computers, allowing for a seamless workflow from patient scanning to CAD/CAM design and milling. The intuitive software interface provides step-by-step guidance, making it accessible even for clinicians without prior 3D scanning experience.

Benefits include: high-resolution and high-quality 3D data; 5MP texture camera for realistic surface capture; pre-set body part workflows (cranial, torso, limbs, feet, sockets, and more); wireless and lightweight design (953g) for true portability; movement compensation for accurate scans despite slight patient motion; and contact-free scanning using white and infrared light for maximum patient comfort.

With EinScan Medixa, clinics can increase patient throughput by 400% per workday, significantly reduce rework, and maintain precise digital records for follow-up care. This digital-first solution enhances clinical efficiency while improving patient satisfaction by replacing messy casting with a clean and comfortable experience. Additionally, EinScan Medixa offers SDK support for flexible integration with hospital systems and design portals, enabling customized clinical workflows and branded experiences.

“By introducing Medixa, we are providing more than a scanner – we are delivering a tool that increases confidence and efficiency for O&P practitioners worldwide,” said Zhechen Dai, O&P Sector Technical Leader at SHINING 3D. “By combining accuracy, patient comfort, and workflow simplicity, Medixa empowers clinicians to focus on what matters most: improving patient outcomes.”
