Step Into the Future of Orthotic Manufacturing
At Réalta Labs, we’re redefining how orthotics are designed, manufactured, and delivered. Built by podiatrists for podiatrists, our process is 100% digital, sustainable, and clinically led.
Native 3D Scanning – No Gadgets Required
Our own Réalta 3D Scanning App, available directly on the App Store, removes the need for expensive third-party scanners like Structure. It’s fast, intuitive, and built specifically for foot and ankle professionals. Simply scan, submit, and leave the rest to us.
Best-in-Class Design & Manufacturing
Every orthotic is designed using advanced, industry-leading CAD software and produced with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing. By printing under nitrogen conditions, we ensure superior efficiency, precision, and material integrity—delivering orthoses that outperform traditional methods.
Sustainability at Our Core
We take our responsibility to the planet seriously. Our approach eliminates outdated plaster casts and foam impression boxes, replacing them with a fully digital workflow. Our orthotics are manufactured with PA11 powder, derived from castor beans, making them both durable and eco-friendly.
-
Solar power & heat pumps supply all our electricity.
-
Sustainable cotton packaging reduces waste.
-
Digital-only submissions mean zero shipping of casts or foams.
Choosing Réalta isn’t just about better orthotics—it’s about making the greener choice for the future.
Clinically Led, Professionally Controlled
Unlike traditional labs run by technicians, every design at Réalta Labs is overseen by MSc-level Sports Podiatrist, Paul McMullan. With over a decade of clinical experience, Paul ensures every orthotic that leaves our lab is built to the highest professional and biomechanical standards.
