What Spentys does

Spentys is a Belgian-headquartered software company, founded in 2017 and operating across the orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) value chain, that builds a 3D design automation platform for custom-made orthoses and prostheses. Its technology combines 3D scanning, 3D modeling, and 3D printing workflow automation through flagship products including the Spentys Platform, the Forma Windows desktop application, the iOS scanning app, footForma, autoForma (automatic modeling), freeForma (freehand design), Digital Limb Creator, and Digital Mold Creator. Around these it layers operational modules such as Spentys Workflow, Clinic Management, and the SERP order-management web platform, with integrations to multiple 3D printers (FDM, MJF, DLP, SLA) and materials (PP, TPU, PA11, PA12, ST45). The platform's differentiators are landmark-driven scan-to-mold automation, standardized patient-specific buildups, and purpose-built O&P workflows that contrast with general-purpose CAD tools; clinical validity has been pursued through a randomized trial with Kantonsspital Baselland and feasibility studies with Tel Aviv Medical Center and University Hospital Basel.

The company monetizes through a combination of subscription software (footForma at $99/€99 per user per month with a 7-day free trial), enterprise platform licensing that bundles additional limb segments, integrations, admin dashboards, and support, and a 3D printing-as-a-service offering where clinics can order produced devices across multiple technologies and materials. Distribution is hybrid: a product-led growth motion via direct desktop and iOS downloads and self-onboarding, paired with a sales-led enterprise motion targeting O&P clinics and hospitals through demos, roadmap sessions, and expert consultations. Its customer base spans leading O&P clinics and healthcare institutions (Mayo Clinic, Kantonsspital Baselland, Sint Maartenskliniek, Ottobock-credentialed technicians, Heckert Orthopedie, Leuk Orthopedie, Dim Orthopedie, OIM Orthopedie, Bionic, Point Designs) across Europe, the United States, and Africa, with a US regional office in New York complementing the Belgian headquarters in Forest, Belgium. Spentys has raised two funding rounds (Caring Entrepreneurship Fund in 2018; Business Angels Switzerland in 2020), discloses 11–50 employees, and operates as a private company.

Core offering

Spentys develops and sells a 3D design automation software platform that enables orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) clinical teams to convert 3D scans into production-ready orthoses and prosthetic designs without requiring advanced CAD expertise. The platform combines automated scan-to-mold workflows, landmark-driven alignment, and standardized buildups, and is complemented by Forma desktop and iOS applications, an order management system (SERP), and on-demand 3D printing production services.

Product overview

Spentys offers a platform-plus-modules architecture for 3D design automation in orthotics and prosthetics (O&P). The core Spentys Platform enables clinical teams to customize, visualize, and finalize custom-made orthoses with automated workflows. The product portfolio includes Forma (standalone Windows desktop application), the iOS mobile app, footForma (digital foot modification workflow), autoForma and freeForma modeling tools, Digital Limb Creator, Digital Mold Creator, Spentys Workflow (order management), Spentys Clinic Management, and Spentys Custom Solutions. The platform supports various 3D printing technologies (FDM, MJF, DLP, SLA) with materials including PP, TPU, PA11, PA12, and ST45. Notable products include AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) in multiple variants, A1 wrist orthosis, and A5 carpal tunnel splint. footForma provides an affordable entry point at $99/99€ per user per month.
