Seating milling machines are specialized equipment used in orthotic and prosthetic workshops to manufacture custom-contoured seating systems for wheelchairs and mobility devices. Working from digital scans or CAD models, these machines mill precise shapes from foam blocks, creating seating solutions that provide optimal pressure distribution, posture support, and comfort.
In an orthotic workshop, seating milling machines streamline production by eliminating much of the manual shaping process. They allow practitioners to replicate complex anatomical contours with high accuracy, ensuring that each seat matches the unique needs of the user. This technology is particularly valuable for patients with severe mobility impairments, spinal deformities, or those at high risk of pressure sores.
By integrating seating milling machines into their workflow, orthotists and prosthetists can deliver consistent, high-quality custom seating faster and more efficiently—improving patient comfort, preventing complications, and enhancing overall quality of life.
