They are currently produced on-site by master orthotist Mattis Hohmann and sales representative Nathalie Preischl. Both received training from Johannes Hartwig of Rothballer, as well as Ralf Kecke, who set up the technology, and co-developer Michael Seidler from product management for foot orthopedics. "Printing here in Milan is only possible thanks to this support. Many thanks for that," emphasizes Mattis Hohmann. On-site, Mattis Hohmann and Nathalie Preischl went through the entire process together: from scanning their own feet to modeling them in the Bodytronic ID:CAM software, and finally to printing the finished insole. Nathalie's background in physiotherapy made it easier for her to understand the insole's structure. "It's quite complex, but very interesting," says the 34-year-old.
The team in Milan found the direct exchange with medical teams from other nations particularly exciting. The 3D printer quickly attracted everyone's attention – opening doors to interesting conversations in Milan.
Nathalie Preischl will continue to use her work on this topic even after her time in Milan: “So far, I have already been able to communicate effectively with clients – in the future, I will be able to provide deeper insights in conversations.”
