Xkelet - Creating fracture splints in minutes using Photocentric's LC Magna

Innovation at its best. The powerful alliance of Xkelet and Photocentric has seen the creation of an advanced solution to traditional orthotics; one which is revolutionising the treatment of damaged bones. Tailored to Xkelet’s application and unique operation, the XKprinter was shaped. An application tailored LC Magna printer with modified hardware and firmware, the XKprinter is supported by an optimised material, that is required for Xkelet’s innovative 3D printed cast solutions.



The bespoke 3D printing technology combined with Xkelet’s cutting-edge AI software has a twofold effect, improving treatment procedures for the health provider, and, dramatically advancing patient recovery.




Made to measure with their cutting-edge XKSO 3D scanning software, today Xkelet’s 3D printed affordable, personalised and lightweight cast alternative to plaster, thermoplastics and other orthotics has been adopted in 17 countries worldwide.

The Benefits of LC Magna for Xkelet’s Prosthetics Manufacturing Operation

Fast, accurate printing = Quick turnaround.

Xkelet’s previous 3D printers were too slow, taking at least 10 hours to produce the required patient casts; unsuitable in an industry where demands dictate speed and efficiency. Utilising LC Magna’s unique technology and rapid 3D printing process makes this a reality, Xkelet can fabricate customised patient braces in as little as 50 minutes.

Large build volume = Less operation time

If Xkelet were ever to receive an immediate demand for a few or more casts, Magna’s generous build volume would allow them to print the casts vertically; maximising build plate capacity. In a single print run Xkelet can rapidly produce more than 10 braces vertically and the large build volume also supports the fabrication of larger casts, such as leg orthotics.

Producing the individually customised braces in batches together reduces handling and operations required, plus lead times.

The Complete Package = Everything required from start to finish

A full solution of hardware, software, and a material designed specifically with suitable properties for an application where close skin contact is essential.
