Your life just got easier when you design an orthosis: As before, you set the trimline point by point in the way that best matches your patient's needs. However, you no longer need to optimize the yellow and green points manually.

This process is now eliminated by the new function "Smooth contour" saving you valuable time. This function is already preselected by default, but can also be deactivated at any time if you prefer to set the points manually.

Yellow - green - yellow: Point are positioned in the right way automatically.

Moving points as a unit is also easier now: just grab one of the green dots and the two associated yellow dots will automatically move with it. The radius can also be easily adjusted in this way – when a yellow point is moved, the associated second yellow point changes at the same time.

In the following video excerpt you can see how this works:

New cutting tools on the Mecuris Solution Platform

In Mecuris3D Modeling you will find new tools for cutting positive models or patient scans. This makes working on the Mecuris Solution Platform even faster and easier for removing pieces or fragments from your scan.

The existing tool has been enhanced and made easier to use, which allows cutting your model with an object. However, we have developed a new tool that cuts your model using a plane. Let's have a closer look right here 👇

Cut with object: This tool allows you to import an object (cube, sphere or a custom object) into the scene and use it as a cutting object. After adding the desired object into the workspace, you can scale it and move it to the suitable position.

Cut with plane: When selecting this tool you can create a horizontal plane. This plane can be moved to the desired position while holding the Shift key. You will notice that a colored preview becomes visible. This allows you to choose which part of the model you want to remove.

Would you like to see how to apply these tools using a real treatment? Then you can watch how-to videos in the Mecuris Solution Platform here [Log-In].

Even more patient treatments possible in the Mecuris3D Creator

Mecuris3D Creator has received a major update. We introduce an advanced solution for creating individual orthosis. It is now no longer necessary to set landmarks when creating i.e. AFOs. This makes the tool even easier and faster to use.

On top of that, you can now use the Mecuris3D Creator for other body parts as well. This makes it possible to create orthoses for the whole leg or the whole arm. Depending on the patient case and the chosen manufacturing method, you have the possibility to use the Mecuris3D Creator for even more treatments.

Are you interested to learn more about this topic? Then check out this blog post right here >>

If you are interested in what the Mecuris3D Creator is capable of. We recommend our on demand webinar "How to Create an AFO Ready for 3D Printing". Watch it here and earn 1,25 CEU's along the way >>

Available now: Adjust circumferences of a residual limb

In this feature of the Mecuris3DModeling Offset tool you can change circumferences of a patient scan (i.e. a residual limb) with a few clicks. After taking interval measurements you are able to adjust circumferences in percent, millimeters or with a section offset.

This new feature allows you to reduce or increase sections of a residual limb by a defined value (i.e. 2 %). You will always be able to keep track of all your changes (i.e. reducing the circumference, smoothing, applying material etc.) by looking into the interval measurement bar (see screenshot below).

Are you curious what this looks like? Learn more in this video:

Heads up >> You will find more hands-on videos on the Mecuris Solution Platform

Work faster: Take interval measurements digitally

Now you can create vertical and horizontal measurement planes in the Mecuris3D Modeling at specific intervals, e.g. at a distance of 3cm. This allows you to determine exactly how much circumference (in percentages and millimeters) you want to add or remove - the control remains entirely yours, even when working digitally!

As you only have to set one plane as a starting point and the interval tool will take all measurements automatically, it also saves you some time. And don't worry about a manual documentation - all measurements will be automatically saved in a PDF file, that you can download any time, free of charge.

More design freedom in the Mecuris3D Creator: Set as many perforation holes as you like

With the Mecuris3D Creator you are completely free in your design. Now we're going one step further: the latest update to the design tool in the Mecuris3D Creator tool now allows you to place perforation holes at any desired position and even multiple times. The advantage is obvious: the finished orthosis thus becomes really lightweight. The patient´s level of comfort over many hours can significantly be increased.

Upload now OBJ files (color per vertex)

In addition to the previous data format .stl, you can now also upload .obj files into the Mecuris3D Correction and Mecuris3D Modeling tools for further processing.

With this file format color information from a patient scan can be passed into the modification tool. Thus, you are able to mark certain area while scanning, e.g. to highlight pressure points, and see them on the scan later on.

Please note: our software only processes color per vertex .obj files and not textured/wavefront .objs. How do you know you have the right file? Color per vertex .objs consist of only one single file. Textured/wavefront .objs consist of three individual files, which only play out the desired information when digitally combined. They do not transport the necessary information separately.

Optimized Measurement tool: set axes in the Mecuris3D Modeling

As a new additional tool you now have the possibility to set an axis in the Mecuris3D Modeling tool, e.g. along the bony structure of a patient scan. This allows you to align the scan even faster in your processing frame.

Learn how you can set axes in this video:

Attention: You will find many more videos like this one with explanations to all our tools directly in the Mecuris Solution Platform.

Digital pose correction is now available for the knee!

As of today, the pose of the knee or the entire leg can be corrected in addition to the feet and hands. This is especially helpful when caring for bedridden patients for whom a plaster cast is almost impossible.

The Mecuris3D Correction tool makes it possible to scan such patients in an uncorrected position and then perform the pose correction digitally: the knee joint can thus be adjusted extremely accurately and even difficult corrections can be made anatomically and without setting complicated axes or the like.

Here's a short clip from the how-to video, which you can find on the Mecuris Solution Platform:

Load patient or test scan now and get started!

Log in to the Mecuris Solution Platform
Select the Mecuris3D Correction tool
Click on the body area where you want to perform a pose correction
Set reference points
Correct the scan in the ankle joint, forefoot and knee
Download the corrected scan or proceed with the modeling tool

Any amount of cutting lines enable multi-shell orthoses

With the Mecuris3D Creator tool, it was previously only possible to add one cutting line. From now on, multiple cutting lines are possible.

These are the advantages:

✔️ the construction of an orthosis from several parts

✔️ more design freedom regarding e.g. complex shapes (e.g. frame constructions)

✔️ an orthosis light of weight and more comfortable for the patient

Here's a guide on how you define a contour in the Mecuris3D Creator:

Try out the new option in the Mecuris3D Creator directly! Maybe you are in the process of creating a multi-part orthotic shell, otherwise we recommend using a test scan directly in the Mecuris Solution Platform. Let's go...

Many new how-to videos make it easier to use the MSP tools

Who doesn't know it: You are in the middle of something and then one thing doesn't work. You just can't get any further and no one is available to help... That's over now! We have included many short videos at several points in the Mecuris Solution Platform to help you better understand the tools and functions.

If, for example, you are in the process of modeling a functional form and no longer know how the cutting, smoothening, or application tool works, you can watch individual videos for this purpose. You can find them via the play icon next to the question mark in the lower right corner of your screen.

In each tool you will find different videos on the respective functions. There are about 20 videos in total, such as:

New functionality: global smoothening in the Mecuris3D Modeling tool

Global smoothing tool - smooth your functional form with just one click

Let's say your functional form has several areas that need to be smoothed. In the past, you would have worked the plaster so hard the dust would have been everywhere.

Wouldn´t it be handy if you could now digitally smooth these areas all at once with just one click? Instead of having to deal with each irregularity individually...

Good News: Exactly this function is now available in the Mecuris3D Modeling tool! It is called "Global Smooth" and can be selected via the "Smooth" feature in the left menu. Here you can set an intensity from 0 to 10, which is then used to smooth the entire model. This is definitely the fastest way to make sure that all the imperfections are evened out and even all the hairs that have been perpetuated in the scan will disappear.

With the global smoothening tool you can smooth an entire object with one click.

Now available for everyone to use:

pose correction for the hand in the Mecuris3D Correction tool

As of today it is live, the pose correction for the hand! After an intensive beta phase, in which we reviewed the valuable feedback from your colleagues and optimized the application, all users of the Mecuris Solution Platform can now benefit from this new feature. From now on, you can digitally correct your uncorrected hand scans in the wrist as well as in the fingers and thumb within the Mecuris3D Correction tool - it doesn't get any faster than that!

You can find a short video on pose correction of the hand here.
