Systems and Methods for Manufacturing of Multi-Property Anatomically Customized Devices

This invention describes a way to make custom medical devices, specifically orthotics, using 3D printing. It involves taking a person's body data, designing an insole, and then setting it up in a special way for the 3D printer to build it, potentially using different materials or support structures. The claims focus specifically on orthotics.

Why it matters: The claims focus on multi-material 3D printing and specialized manufacturing orientations for orthotics. Since 2016, 3D printing technology has significantly advanced in multi-material capabilities and software for optimizing complex builds, making this approach more practical.
