Qwadra and Create it REAL strengthen 3D printing solutions for orthopaedics with innovative foam technology

Qwadra, the digital division of Eqwal and an international provider of digital solutions in the field of orthotics and prosthetics, has announced a strategic partnership with Create it REAL. Create it REAL, a pioneer in advanced 3D printing technologies, is integrating its multi-patented Programmable Foam technology into Qwadra’s Sona Flex and Sona Edge 3D printers. This collaboration enables healthcare professionals to produce orthopaedic devices with high precision, speed and customization.

Qwadra’s Sona Edge printer is specifically designed to control different zones of stiffness and flexibility in orthopaedic corsets. This provides a more personalized and comfortable fit that meets the specific needs of patients. This innovation allows clinicians to create customized devices that improve the quality of care.

In parallel, the Sona Flex printer allows the management of different foam densities through Programmable Foam Technology. This provides an optimal balance between orthopaedic correction and patient comfort and is ideal for creating customized seating solutions and mattresses. This adaptability ensures that medical and comfort-related requirements are met in equal measure.

“This partnership with Create it REAL reinforces our position as a leader in 3D printing innovation for the orthotics sector,” said Luc Boronat, CEO of Qwadra. “The ability to manage rigidity and density in Sona Edge and Sona Flex allows practitioners to produce custom orthopedic devices that maximize both comfort and therapeutic effectiveness while reducing waste and stepping into a future of responsible production.”

The integration of Create it REAL technology not only optimizes print preparation and shortens production times, but also promotes the responsible use of resources. The new production methods and materials contribute significantly to the reduction of waste and the implementation of recycling processes, paving the way for a circular economy.

“We are on a digitalization journey with a higher goal of making the future greener,” explains Jacob Nissen, CEO of Create it REAL. “the partnership with Qwadra is a major step in the integration of CAD systems with advanced 3D printing technologies, both for the benefit of consumers, but also as an enabler of new production methods for sustainable production and reduction of the carbon footprint in the healthcare industry.”

Through this collaboration, Qwadra now offers more comprehensive, innovative and sustainable solutions for the healthcare industry, helping professionals worldwide to increase the quality and efficiency of their orthopaedic products.
