Vorum Founder and CEO Carl Saunders said, “Create O&P are the pioneers in selling and supporting 3D printing systems in the O&P industry. The use of 3D printing technology is an exciting evolution in CAD/CAM for O&P, and we are pleased that Create decided to offer Vorum’s Canfit O&P CAD software as part of their solution.”

The subscription also includes a six-hour training session on trans-tibial sockets. In addition to 3D printing flexible inner sockets, clinicians who use the Create 3400 system can also print out partial hands, unique leg covers, arms, fingers, O&P molds, and wrist braces; Create O&P says more designs are soon to come.
The version of Vorum’s Canfit software that’s included in Create O&P’s new package is a 3D printing-specific one, giving clinicians access to high-precision trans-tibial prosthetic socket design tools, like the ability to apply anatomically-correct shape modifications quickly and then track the modifications. The software also allows users to add pressure and relief points, overlay X-rays and images, control the thickness of 3D printed devices, preview the device before it’s printed, and define trim lines with Vorum’s patent-pending exclusive variable flaring.
Create O&P CEO Jeff Erenstone explained, “3D printed devices are better because they provide faster design than traditional plaster-based methods, are completely quantifiable, are completely adjustable and are completely reproducible. 3D printing is a tool, but it takes a skilled practitioner and technician to use it. We should call it by its real name – additive manufacturing. The addition of Vorum’s Canfit software adds a new element to our package that allows prosthetists to design their own custom devices. This software is used by thousands of clinicians worldwide because of its ease of use and customer support. We are proud to offer Canfit to our 3D printing system customers.”
