What is GP InsoleCAD?

GP InsoleCAD (CAD = Computer Aided Design) is used for the modelling of insoles and is part of the GP CAD module.

The GP CAD module consists of the GP InsoleCAD Module from the modules:

  • GP OptiCADThe module enables the modelling and milling of mouldings.
  • GP CAD+: Allows modelling of the underside of insoles.

The workplace where you GP InsoleCAD It is not important where your measurement data is collected or where your milling machine is located. The required measurement data can be transmitted via a network to the GP InsoleCAD computer.

You can incorporate information about your customer's foot into the design using various measurement methods (various 3D and 2D scanning methods).

After the design, the finished insoles can be transferred to the milling machine, another computer or an external partner. The finished modelled insoles are manufactured using a CNC machine.

Five points are decisive for optimally designed insoles:

  1. The measurement and its interpretation (3D scan, 2D scan)
  2. The inlay library and its customisation to your wishes/handwriting
  3. The software and its processing options and usability
  4. Your ability to apply and implement positions 1-3
  5. The milling machine and its accuracy or the accuracy of the milling step calculation

All elements have the same high priority.

Familiarising yourself with a CAD programme is unfamiliar for any beginner. Complex 3D objects are displayed on a two-dimensional screen and can only be modelled there.

This way of working differs considerably from traditional craftsmanship. Experience in handling the new tools of the trade can only be gained through practical work with GP InsoleCAD.
