Fredrik from CADmed shares what actually works, what doesn’t, and how remote design plus per-pair pricing changes the game.• why automation increases clinician control rather than removes it• carving versus printing tradeoffs on speed, finish, and cost• foaming TPU benefits including smoother surfaces and less waste• belt printers for continuous TPU production and better surface feel• FDM advantages over powder bed fusion for insoles• practical lattices and gradients without overengineering• decentralizing production to clinics for faster delivery• remote design, slicing, and printer control with per-pair pricing• scaling systems for reliability, repeatability, and low frictionSpecial thanks to Advanced 3D for sponsoring this episode.Support the show
