Captevia, a booming application
620 users since the application was launched
Since the application became available online at the Apple Store in February 2012, Captevia has won over many users.
Just as a reminder, Captevia is an application for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, which can take patients measurements by simply taking a photograph. Photographs can then be imported into our Rodin4D CAD/CAM software.
To date, the application has been downloaded more than 600 times, throughout the world.
We have received many positive comments
from Captevia users, which give us more motivation to continue developing the application.
Version 2 is currently under preparation and will soon be available at the Apple Store.

A new team member
A new team memberPatricia Grandinot joined the Rodin4D team in early September.
After completing her chemical engineering studies, Patricia’s final placement took her to Lagarrigue Aquitaine, where she discovered the Rodin4D solution and the orthopaedic world.
She then worked in a research laboratory for 6 years, where she broadened her skills, notably at a sales and marketing level.
Today, Patricia has returned to Rodin4D.
Her experience, versatility and fresh outlook on our products are assets which will enable Rodin4D to evolve and offer increasingly innovative solutions.
ISPO France 2012, an annual key event
ISPO France 2012, an annual key eventLast month, the 2012 edition of ISPO France was held in Lyon. Each year, IPSO France gives us the opportunity to present our latest products and services.
The exhibition programme included: Demonstrations of our new M4D Scan and presentations of our milling services given by our Manufacturing Plant Manager. Many of you were convinced by the quality of products produced using the Rodin4D system (braces, seats, etc.).
Thank you to all visitors for your presence and participation at this event.
The Brace Simulator : A tool to simulate the efficiency of a brace
The Brace Simulator : A tool to simulate the efficiency of a braceToday, CAD/CAM tools can be used to design made to measure braces and manufacture them using computer-controlled machine tools. However, these tools do not evaluate the efficiency and corrective effect of a brace before it is manufactured and fitted to a patient.
This is why, in 2009, the Sainte-Justine Hospital and the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, as well as two companies, Rodin4D (France) and Boston Brace (USA), launched a Research and Development project to address this problem, with the aim of developing software capable of simulating the efficiency of a brace, designed with the Rodin4D software, using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

Tip of the month
Playing with transparency
When merging, it is possible that the scanned form is larger than the library form, or vice-versa.
In this case, it is necessary to add a slight transparency to the larger form, to see the smaller form which is found inside.
To do this, use one of the two sliders at your disposal (transparency of the library form and transparency of the insert scanned form).
Nevertheless be careful, it is not recommended to add transparency to the two forms at the same time.
