How it works

From photo to CAD file in four steps

About 5 minutes of your time. The rest happens in the cloud.

1 · Photo capture

3 photos of each foot, on a sheet of A4 paper. The app checks every photo on the spot.

2 · 3D reconstruction

We build a true-scale 3D model of each foot. Usually a few minutes

3 · Measurements + 3D model

25 measurements per foot, an STL model of each foot and a PDF of both soles at true size, ready to print.

4 · Your application

Your last, insole, size chart, CAD or study. That step is yours.

Works on the phone you already have

It does not need a high-end model. That makes it practical in every market, wherever people have a smartphone.

Pricing

Pay per scanned person

Tokens are the currency for your results. You buy them in packs; a scan takes its tokens only once the 3D model is built.

1 token
=
1 Basic scanone person, both feet
  • 25 measurements per foot (PDF)
  • True-scale 3D model of each foot (STL)
  • A PDF of both soles at true size, ready to print
2 tokens

  • Everything in Basic
  • plus an insole supply suggestion (PDF)
  • Only if you supply insoles. For shoes, Basic is all you need.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special scanner?
No. Any iPhone or Android smartphone works, including simple and older models: the app only uses the camera and the standard tilt sensor, which every smartphone has. No high-end phone, no LiDAR or depth sensor, no scanner hardware.
What do I need for a scan?
A smartphone, one sheet of white A4 paper (not US Letter), bare feet, a flat well-lit floor and about 5 minutes for both feet.
What does it cost? Is the first scan really free?
You get 1 free token, which covers your first Basic scan. After that you buy tokens: a Basic scan (one person, both feet) costs 1 token, a Pro scan costs 2 tokens. A failed scan (no 3D model) costs nothing. 10 tokens cost US$40 (US$4.00 each); larger packs go down to US$1.67 per token.
What if a scan fails or a photo is bad?
The app checks every photo straight away and tells you what to fix. If a scan fails and no 3D model can be built, no tokens are used and you can scan again. Tokens are only used once a scan is reconstructed.
Can my customer scan themselves?
Yes. Send them your scan link: they need no account and no password. They enter your shop code in the app. The result arrives in your account and uses 1 token (2 for a Pro scan).
What files do I get?
A results PDF with all 25 measurements per foot, a PDF of both soles at true size (prints on A4 at 100%), and a true-scale 3D model (STL) of each foot. The measurements as a CSV file for your own systems are available as an option; ask us.
How accurate is it?
Six measurements (foot length, ball width, instep height, ball, instep and toes girth) have been validated against a laboratory scanner: typical error 0.6–1.8 mm. The other measurements have no individual validation figures yet, and the ankle region is not validated.
What is the difference between Basic and Pro?
Basic is the standard: 25 measurements per foot, true-scale 3D models and a true-size sole print. Pro adds an insole supply suggestion from a Swiss expert and costs 2 tokens per scan instead of 1. If you make or sell shoes, Basic is all you need; Pro is only for those who supply insoles.
