Depending on your printing technique and the material you print, some orthotics have been validated in our process with certain thicknesses, here is an explanation.
You can always customize your brace for your patient by selecting the printing technique and material in the Spentys application.
After all, treating a child and a sportsman is not the same thing! So you can create a brace with the standard thicknesses but also create something more discreet, lighter, or more resistant.
