You now have the option of sending scans to Arizona AFO, Inc for the fabrication of Arizona AFO products. We have on-site CAD/CAM capabilities.

We do have particular guidelines, however. These are as follows:

  • The scan file must be in .STL format. There are ways to convert other formats of scan files to .STL, so contact your scanner’s manufacturer for more info.
  • The largest M/L of the calf or ankle cannot exceed 6”.
  • Just as you would for casting, please have the patient’s foot positioned in
    the proper subtalar neutral alignment during the scanning process.
  • Take care that the quality of the scan is good to avoid having to rescan.

It will be assumed that the patient is being scanned directly. If, for instance, a cast of the patient’s foot is what was scanned, be sure and note this on the work order.

Any questions, please call David at 480-222-1594 or Ryan at 480-222-1596. Or you can e-mail questions to david@arizonaafo.com
