Spike 3D Digitizer – precise and sustainable foot impression measurement
Spike is the modern solution for creating high-quality 3D foot impressions in orthopedic shoe technology. The device impresses with its precise tactile scanning, simple handling, and sustainable operation – for optimal results.
Advantages of the Spike 3D Digitizer
We are convinced that Spike is the ultimate solution for orthopedic footwear professionals, helping you to create precise and efficient 3D foot impressions while also benefiting from its environmentally friendly concept.
- Mechanical scanning: Spike uses 1,055 tactile sensors to capture the foot sole and generate a high-quality 3D foot impression with optimal pressure distribution.
- Natural pressure distribution: Soft tissue compresses more than bone – Spike replicates this physiological process for authentic results.
- Measurement in corrected posture: The quality is comparable to a 3D scan of a foam impression, but Spike additionally allows precise positioning of the foot during the measurement.
- Precise semi-weight-bearing measurement while seated: The measurement can be started via the start button on the device. During the 20-second process, both hands are free to hold the foot in the correct position.
- Sustainable and cost-efficient: Eliminate recurring costs for foam boxes, shipping, and disposal – go fully digital.

Seamless integration into FIF Software
Once connected to a PC, Spike is automatically recognized as a 3D scanner in all feetinform software products. The measurement can be started either via mouse click within the software or directly on the device using the start button. The 3D footprint is created by the vertical movement of tactile pins. It is important to hold the patient’s foot firmly during the process to ensure the best results.
The generated 3D footprint is automatically transferred to the FIF Software and is immediately available for further analysis and adjustments.
Measurements can be exported in STL format or printed 1:1 as a PDF.
Mounting options for the 3D Digitizer
Spike is designed as a built-in device and offers flexible installation options. Regardless of how it is mounted, Spike ensures reliable results and allows for convenient measurements from the front or rear, in both semi- and full-weight-bearing positions.
Spike integrated into a pedestal: Typically, the 3D digitizer is installed into a platform for stable positioning of the foot, ensuring precision and comfortable operation.
Spike in a rolling case: For mobile use, the device can be mounted in a rolling case, allowing easy transport and on-site measurements at different locations.
