Important: this is not a medical service
4V3D is not a healthcare provider and employs no clinicians. Nothing here involves diagnosis, treatment, or the prescribing of medical devices.
Foot scanning is a comfort and fit service: the shape of the foot is measured and a custom insole is made from it, in exactly the sense that a suit is tailored or an earpiece is moulded. It is comfort, not treatment.
If you have a medical concern (pain, deformity, anything diabetes-related, or a post-injury condition), see a GP, an orthopaedic specialist or a licensed orthotics clinic. A medically indicated orthosis has to be prescribed and made by a qualified professional. I am not that professional and I won't pretend to be.
What you can order
- A 3D scan of both feet
- A custom comfort insole made from the scan
- Insoles for sports, work or cycling shoes
- The scan handed over as a file to your own maker or partner
- Scanning as a service for shoe shops and sports retail
- A rescan when the footwear or the use changes
Who it suits
On your feet all day
When the working day happens standing up and by evening the sole feels like concrete.
Sport and hobby
A runner, cyclist or hiker who wants more comfort out of a shoe that otherwise fits.
Awkward footwear
When the shop insole doesn't sit right but the shoe itself is fine.
Shoe shops
Fit assessment from a scan, without buying a scanner.
How it works
Scanning takes a few minutes. The iQube S is built specifically for feet: geometry is captured in seconds, in a form that goes straight into designing an insole. No plaster, no foam, no casting compound, and your feet stay clean.
The scan is kept. If you want a second pair a year later, or one for different shoes, you don't have to come back.
What it is made of. The insole is printed in TPU — a technical rubber that springs back instead of flattening out, and takes sweat, washing and a year of walking. It comes in three hardnesses: firm for work boots and long days on your feet, medium as the general choice, soft when the point is cushioning. Which one you get is decided from your weight, your shoes and what you do in them — tell me those and I'll pick, or say straight out if you already know what suits you.
For workshops and shops
If you already make insoles (an orthopaedic workshop, a shoe shop, a sports shop), the scanning doesn't have to happen in your building. Send the customer to me: I scan the foot and you get back a clean 3D file to do your own work on.
A scanned foot stays as a file: a year later the second pair doesn't need the customer to come back in. If the volume is more than a couple of pairs a month, the per-pair price comes down. Write and we'll talk numbers.
Body and face
A neighbouring service: the Einscan H2's infrared mode is made for faces and bodies. Suitable for a 3D portrait, a figure, or measuring for custom-fitted equipment. That is a comfort and creative service too, not medicine.
Tell me which shoes and what for, and you'll get a price and a date.
