The complicated name would be stereophotogrammetry but 3D laser scanning is easier to understand. That is the field where Lithuanian company Elinvision has now earned international recognition. Designing and manufacturing measuring and control devices, vision processing systems and 3D scanners since 2000,  Elinvision is winning market shares with its new 3D foot scanner for orthopaedic applications.

A 3D foot scanner replaces the messy and time-consuming casting method that even required casts and moulds to be shipped around. Now the patient puts a foot in the scanner box and the specialist gets a perfect 3D copy of  it (with full, partial or no weight at all) to be handled digitally.

A year after the launch of their first scanner, Elinvision is now working on a less sophisticated model to broaden its market. “ Sapa has been very helpful  when developing the profiles for the casing of the first scanner and we count on their advice for this new series,” says Donatas Valincius, general manager at Elinvision.
