This app uses the Structure SDK / TrueDepth camera for 3D scanning. Supported device list (updated regularly): https://techmed3d.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/minimun-device-requirements The Cascade Capture app allows clinicians to scan, add design notations, and order custom prosthetic or orthotic devices. Using a Structure Sensor™ with this app, clinicians have a convenient solution for portable 3D-scanning. Once a patient's limb is scanned, clinicians may add clinical notes to captured shape files and/or photos, then submit for order processing. By using the Cascade Capture app, clinicians can process custom orders by: - Scanning or photographing sound or residual limbs - Adding clinical annotations to shape files or photos - Completing custom order forms that do not require an initial scan - Submitting order forms, shape files, photos, clinical notes, and uploading other assets directly to the supplier and Cascade
