A Stratasys Case Study
GO Orthotics, a New Zealand orthotics lab led by founder Tim Ganley, needed to scale delivery of high-quality, patient-specific foot orthotics while keeping lab footprint small, lowering cost per part, and convincing clinicians that 3D-printed devices could match the longevity and therapeutic outcomes of traditional materials. To address this, GO Orthotics partnered with Stratasys and adopted the H350 SAF powder-bed fusion printer together with Stratasys High Yield PA11 material.
By installing two Stratasys H350 SAF printers and using High Yield PA11, GO Orthotics can nest up to 28 pairs of orthotics in a 12:45 print cycle, significantly reducing cost per part, increasing throughput, and improving surface finish, dimensional accuracy and durability; PA11’s bio‑sourced chemistry also supports more eco-conscious production. The Stratasys solution removed labor‑intensive multi-stage processes, freed staff to focus on finishing, made GO Orthotics the first New Zealand facility to use PA11 onsite, and delivered faster turnaround and a clear competitive advantage.
