ABSTRACT:
A digitizer for use in computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems for making orthotic and prosthetic devices includes a movably mounted pendent arm having a free end with a contact wheel mounted to the free end for making rolling contact with the surface of a three dimensional shape to create reference points for the CAD/CAM to accurately create an orthotic or prosthetic device. The digitizer is automated by mounting a sensor tip at the free end of the pendent arm for automatically visibly sensing marked reference points on the surface of the shape.
