Custom Orthotic Design Service
At EMC, we strive for the freedom of mobility for all of our drivers. To better achieve this goal, we offer 3-D printed custom orthotics to best meet your driving needs. Choose from our wide range of available custom orthotics, or contact us to develop an orthotic tailored specifically to your requirements. With our engineering team, and your orthotic vision, we can transform your desires into a reality.
Orthotic Design Process
Every orthotic is tailored to the user’s specific needs. Lets walk through the design process for an orthotic requested by a CDRS. It all starts with an idea for what will work best - it could be an object, a drawing on a napkin - or in this case, a pen taped to the pin orthotic.
We then get started on designing the orthotic using CAD software, meeting the design criteria set forth by the customer.
After internal review, we print a prototype and send it to the customer for validation. With the customer happy with the prototype, we print a final copy out of carbon fiber infused nylon.

Customer Examples
THA Cup
The THA Cup was designed to perfectly fit a customer’s residual limb.
It rotates on a ball bearing to glide with the motion of the L-Series Input Device
Flightstick
The Flightstick emulates the design and form of an aviaton joystick a customer sent in.
The complex angles and shapes show that anything is possible with custom orthotics.
Short Top
Sometimes simple is all you need. The Short Top was a design request from a CDRS
to put in their evaluation tool box. It has become an often proscribed orthotic.
