Case Study: Aiwa Prosthetics and Orthotics achieves faster, higher-quality prosthetic production with Hexagon PrimeScan

Aiwa Prosthetics and Orthotics - Customer Case Study

Aiwa Prosthetics and Orthotics, a Tokyo-based manufacturer of custom silicone prosthetic limbs, required a high-accuracy reverse engineering solution to improve their product quality. Their challenge was to find a scanner capable of capturing intricate details like fingerprints to create more natural and comfortable prostheses, a requirement that traditional metrology tools could not meet.

Hexagon provided its PrimeScan structured light scanner to address this challenge. The solution delivered exceptionally clear and accurate scans with superior fingerprint reproducibility, which dramatically reduced manual corrections and noise in the data. This resulted in a nearly 50% reduction in total production time for some products, leading to a significant increase in work efficiency, productivity, and consistently high-quality output for Aiwa's customers.
