Structure develops advanced 3D sensing hardware and software platforms aimed at healthcare applications, with strong emphasis on orthotics and prosthetics (O&P). Their technology enables clinicians, labs, and developers to capture accurate anatomical data, streamline design workflows, and deliver patient-specific O&P devices more efficiently.

Core Value Proposition in O&P

• Precision & Reliability
  Structure’s sensors are engineered to deliver clinical-grade accuracy (≈1 mm) — sufficient for most orthotic and prosthetic modeling and fabrication work.

• Seamless Digital Workflow Integration
  Scans captured via Structure hardware can be imported into digital design and CAD/CAM systems, or processed via Structure’s own software (Structure SDK, Structure Capture) and partner platforms. 

• Mobility & Clinical Adaptability
  The system is built for real-world environments — clinics, domiciliary visits, labs — enabling on-site scanning of residual limbs, body segments, or fittings, eliminating reliance on traditional casting.

• Scalable O&P Fabrication
  Through partnerships with design automation platforms (e.g. Spentys) and O&P digitization workflows, Structure supports scaling from single-case fabrication to volume custom device production. 

Key Products & Components in the O&P Category

• Structure Sensor 3 for iPad
  This is the flagship 3D depth sensor designed to attach to iPad devices. It offers high-accuracy scanning of limbs, residual stumps, joints, and body surfaces — ideal as input for custom socket design, orthotic shell modeling, or limb geometry capture.

• Accessories & Brackets
  Structure offers mounting brackets (for various iPad models), cables (USB-C or Lightning depending on model), and alignment aids to integrate the sensor smoothly into clinical workflows.

• Structure SDK (Software Development Kit)
  Enables developers to build custom scanning apps, integrate landmark detection, anatomical analysis, and mesh post-processing optimized for O&P. 

• Structure Capture / Cloud Platform
  An application for iOS that supports scan capture, mesh generation, cloud upload, and basic post-processing. This allows clinicians to manage scans, exchange data with labs, or connect to downstream CAD/automation platforms. 

• (Legacy/Retired Models & Notes)
  Earlier sensors like Structure Sensor Pro or Mark II models are still referenced in O&P use — many clinics began 3D scanning using those, and Structure’s support pages note they were used in orthotic & prosthetic workflows. 

Typical O&P Use Cases Enabled

• Scanning residual limbs for designing prosthetic sockets and liners

• Scanning intact limbs, joints, or body segments for custom orthoses (braces, splints, AFOs, etc.)

• Monitoring anatomical changes over time (e.g. volume changes, atrophy/hypertrophy)

• Digitally archiving patient anatomy for future refitting or modifications

• Integrating with automated design platforms to produce manufacture-ready models faster and reduce manual design steps

Why Structure’s O&P Category Stands Out

• Clinically “good enough” accuracy: The sensor is accurate enough for most custom O&P device fabrication without the cost or complexity of metrology-grade scanners. 

• Software ecosystem & partnerships: Structure doesn’t just provide hardware — its SDK and capture software, plus partnerships with O&P design platforms, promote end-to-end workflow continuity. 

• Scalable & future-proof: As the O&P industry evolves toward greater automation, Structure’s platform is designed to evolve — hardware upgrades, software improvements, cloud connectivity.

• Clinical adoption & trust: Reports and case studies show adoption in real O&P workflows. Clinicians and labs are using Structure-based scanning to replace casting molds, reduce error, and speed turnaround.
