The socket on this page is a production socket from our farm, printed in carbon-fibre polyamide. Every number here was measured on the file you can turn, by the same code the studio runs on your designs.

01

The inside is the limb.

A socket's cavity is the rectified limb, exactly. The studio builds the inside from your scan and your rectification, and shapes only the outside.

02

A trimline with wings.

The line on the socket is its rim, measured. The studio's house trimline is this socket's own supracondylar cut, stored as 72 numbers and scaled to your patient by a single depth. Lay it on, move its points, draw your own, or cut flat.

03

Every millimetre of wall, measured.

This socket was asked for a 4 mm wall. The studio casts rays through the shell and reads the wall where it is, not where it was meant to be. The colours are that ray, cast from every point of the surface.

An adapter block you can bolt to.

The block is this socket's own, measured section by section: a plate with rounded corners that widens as it rises, its corners turned round, and four bolt holes around a centre hole. The studio carries it as its house adapter, and can size the turning to your patient's limb on request.

Closed, and counted.

Watertight, one body, and exactly five holes through it: four for the bolts and one in the centre. The studio checks every socket it builds the same way, and puts what it found in the report.

Printed in a material we developed.

Our definitive sockets are printed in a foamed carbon-fibre polyamide that we developed in our own print process, with metal inserts where the bolts go.

Two sockets. Both made to order now.

A check socket for the fitting, then the definitive socket for daily wear. Same limb, same trimline, your walls.

Prices exclude VAT. Shipping within the Netherlands is included. Designing, approving and every revision are free.

The studio, in four steps.

The order is fixed and you move it. Each step has one signature, and going back reopens it.

Step 1

Scan input

Drop the scan in. The studio checks the file and tells you what it did to it, and what it would not do.

  • STL, OBJ or PLY, of the limb or of a plaster cast
  • Pinholes closed and counted, the open cut capped, larger holes left for you to decide
  • Liner on or off, recorded with the scan
  • Length, volume and a girth every 25 mm, compared with the last scan

Step 2

Rectification

Relief over sensitive structures, build-up over load-tolerant ones, and a map of every change against the scan.

  • Seven landmarks, placed by you or proposed as rings for you to move
  • Relief and build-up brushes, and global volume by percentage or millimetres
  • Regions you mark keep their shape
  • Undo, redo and a heatmap of the change

Step 3

Socket build

Name a recipe and it fills the step. Nothing is filled in before you choose one, and the wall is always yours.

  • Trimline from the house template, by points, with a brush, or flat
  • Distal, mid and brim walls, entered by you
  • A designed outer wall for a definitive socket, the plain offset for a check socket
  • The rim stroke and the adapter block, from presets your clinic can copy and keep

Step 4

Print export

The checks run on every socket built. Then you approve it, and order the part or download it.

  • Printability: overhang, the measured wall, bed fit and weight
  • An analytical structural estimate against ISO 10328 load levels, labelled as an estimate
  • STL, 3MF and a report with the parameters and the version history
  • Every export says that final approval is the prosthetist's

An assistant that asks, and waits.

Switch it on, and each step runs its stages as it opens. It measures the scan, proposes the landmarks and lays out the trimline template, each proposal with its source.

It never proposes a wall.

It asks for the wall and never offers one. A value outside its range is refused with the range, never quietly clamped.

You tick, then you sign.

Nothing reaches a control until every review item is ticked and every question is answered. Signing clears the step; moving on is still your click.

Every signature is on the record.

Each stage run and each approval is kept with the answers, the edits and who signed, beside the design it belongs to.

The clinical decisions stay yours.

You enter the wall.

A socket's wall thickness is typed by you, or comes from a recipe you name. The studio checks it after the build and never fills it in.

An estimate is called an estimate.

The structural figure is an analytical estimate, not finite element analysis. It is never a substitute for physical testing to ISO 10328.
