3D printed orthotics. In house. On demand.
Propel3D partners with podiatry clinics to produce custom orthotics same day. No labs, no delays, no compromise. We supply the printers, the design expertise and the support. You choose how much of it lives in your clinic.
Born from frustration. Built for progress.
Propel3D was born out of frustration with the traditional orthotic model: long wait times, high costs and outdated manufacturing. As podiatrists and physios ourselves, we knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.
After years of R&D, we developed an in house 3D printing system that delivers custom orthotics within 24 hours, printed from your clinic. Now powering forward thinking clinics across Australia.
Complete customisation
Every orthotic is designed to the individual patient. Familiar scripting, infinite clinical variation.
No workflow disruption
Prescription via a simple online form, compatible with iPhone, iPad, or specialist foot scanners.
In house control
Produce orthotics within your facility for a better patient experience and an immediate point of difference.
Three solutions. One partner.
Central Distribution

The simplest entry point into 3D printed orthotics. No hardware, no software, no training. Submit a prescription and scan, and Propel3D designs, prints and dispatches finished custom orthotics to your door within one working day.
