Projects Foot Strategies Partnering with the Center for Applied Research and Technology (CART) at BSC, the BSC R&D Corporation, and in conjunction with relationships at the state and local level, Foot Strategies will implement, market, and utilize new technologies to redesign the entire process involved in the orthotic process. “Our strategy is to develop the most sophisticated foot scanning and integrated manufacturing system in the world, in conjunction with BSC and CART,” noted Steve Kamalic, Foot Strategies’ president. A foot scanning system developed by CART will permit the direct manufacture of a commercially deployable, dynamic imaging system that can be used for the design, fabrication, and fitting of custom orthotics, he explained. Kamalic was extremely enthusiastic about the partnership with BSC, CART, and BSC R&D. Kamalic added “We brought an idea to BSC R&D and they filled in the blanks, focused on our needs and brought in the experts to make this a reality.” “CART will integrate optical laser scanning sensors and intelligent communication systems on a portable, three-dimension foot-scanning platform,” added Bruce Mutter, CART’s executive director. CART will also integrate a web-based communication system to transmit measurement, viewing, printing, milling, and lasting data files via the Internet.
