MAG Orthotics’ 3D printed insoles manufactured from PA11 nylon represent a new generation of orthotic design and production, combining performance, precision, and sustainability.

PA11 is a high-performance bio-based polyamide derived from renewable sources, offering a material that is not reliant on traditional petrochemical feedstocks. This provides a more resilient and future-focused approach to material sourcing compared with many conventional orthotic plastics.

Key Benefits

Sustainable material choice
PA11 is produced from renewable resources, reducing dependence on oil-based materials commonly used in traditional orthotic manufacturing.

Improved supply resilience
By moving away from petrochemical-derived plastics, PA11 helps reduce exposure to volatility in global oil-based supply chains, supporting greater long-term continuity.

Lightweight yet durable performance
The material offers excellent flexibility, strength, and fatigue resistance, making it highly suitable for bespoke orthotic insoles designed for everyday use.

Precision 3D printed fit
Additive manufacturing allows for highly accurate, patient-specific designs, improving comfort and consistency while reducing material waste.

Advanced alternative to polypropylene
Compared with traditional polypropylene orthoses, PA11 enables lighter, more adaptive designs with improved manufacturing efficiency and enhanced customisation capability.

Summary

PA11 3D printed insoles offer a forward-thinking alternative to conventional orthotic materials, combining clinical performance with sustainability and manufacturing innovation.
