“The Center for Engineering Research and Transfer (CIRTES,
http://www.cirtes.fr) of the ESSTIN Engineering School at
Saint-Dié des Vosges, France, has chosen the Open CASCADE
surface module to develop the surface editing functions of its
OrthoStrato software. Dedicated to orthopedics specialists, this
software allows designing and modifying made-to-measure corrective
devices, such as back braces and full body supports, in 3D. The
orthopedic technician can easily modify the onscreen model of the
orthopedic device thanks to the surface editing functions.”
“At the request of Ravel Orthomedic, a company specialized in
orthotics, the CIRTES developed software reduces delivery time for
the corrective devices from 2 to 3 months to an average of 48 hours
and shortens the production cycle by 50 to 70 percent in comparison
with traditional methods. This reduction in time is crucial in
light of the fact that an adolescent can grow up to 10 cm per
month.”
“Open CASCADE is an open-source tool for 3D modeling and is
used for the development of trade-specific technical and scientific
applications. Open CASCADE stable version 3.1 runs on
Linux Mandrake and Red Hat, Windows and Sun Solaris
platforms.”
