Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual Introduction • 1
The Delcam iQube is a simple but powerful 3D scanner specifically
created for use in designing custom orthotic insoles. It is a versa tile tool
that produces high quality orthotics and insoles.
The iQube gives complete flexibility with respect to the scan model.
Scanning a foot, a cast or a foam box impression, produces a high quality
3D image in approximately 3 seconds, saving time and improving the
quality of the output.
Using technology developed for the Aerospace industry, the iQube
scanner obtains a high level of detail using laser and multi-camera
configuration to produce a highly accur ate full colour 3D image. The high
level of accuracy means that the custom orthotic is created corre ctly every
time, minim isin g the inc o nv en ie nce to cli e nt s.
The Delcam iQube allows the foot to be sc anned in several positions,
according to the needs of the patient.T he scanner ca n be set up for use in
full weight bearing (We ight On), semi-w eig ht bea ri ng a nd no n-weight
bearing (We ight Off) positions,
The scanner is lightweight and compact, making it fully portable; the
optional carrying case a llows you to transport it for use it at different
locations. Once you have scanned the item, Delcam OrthoModel software
lets you design and manufacture the custom insole. Alternatively, use the
scan data with your existing orthotic CADCAM software.

WEEE
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and
refers to a European Union (EU) directive regulating the disposal of
electrical or electronic equipment, including all components, subassemblies and consumables, which are part of the products at the t ime of
discarding.
European Directive 2002 /96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (the WEEE Direc t ive) stipulates tha t WEEE is now subject
to regulations designed to prevent the disposal of such waste an d to
encourage design and treatment measures to minim ize the amount of
waste that is place d int o the wa ste sy stem.
The purpose of this legislat io n is to pre se r v e, protec t a nd im pr ov e the
quality of t he environme nt, protect human health, and stimulate the
practical use of natural resources. Specifically, the WEEE Direc tive
requires that producers of electrical and electronic equipment be
responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of WEEE
which the producer places on the EU ma rket after August 13, 2005.
As an importer of electrical and electr onic equipment (EEE), we have
endeavoure d to meet these environmental responsibilities for managing
WEEE. The following inf ormation is to educate our cus tomers about the
WEEE collec tion process.
In order to avoid any potential dissemination of hazardous substa nces into
the environment, the pro duct has been labelled with the WEEE symbol
(see below) in order to alert the end-user that it should be disposed of
within the pr oper waste management system. That system will recycle,
reuse, and dispose of mate rials from this product in an e nvironmentally
sound way.

The symbol found on the De lcam product label, indicates that the product
meets the European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste and Electronic
Equipment. This symbol, only applicable in European Union countries,
indicates that when this product reaches the end of its l ife it should not be
disposed of with normal household or municipal wast e, but in an
established waste stream for WEEE.
Each EU Member State country has established a system for the
collection, disposal, and recycling of WEEE. End-users in the EU should
contact their local waste administration system for collectio n instructions
concerning this product.

The number of cameras you are using. This is depends if you
are using Fast or High Defini ti on, as specified in the default
settings (see page 41):
Fast = 3 Data Cameras = shorter time
High Definition = 5 Data Cameras = longer time
By default, a five camera system (E500) will use 3 cameras
when using the Foot Scanning mode. To change to 5 cameras,

Changing the scan settings (per session)
For each Scan Model the scan settings can be set independently. T he scan
settings can affect the quality of the scan data because they implicitly
specify the levels of the following:
Amount of noise.
Completene ss of dat a
Scan detail
Depending upon the model colour, quality and requi red detail the Colour
and Detail settings can be modified for each type of Scan Model.
Default settings for all the Scan Models are:
Foot (Caucasian)
Detail - Medium-High
Colour - 2nd Darkest
Foam Box (Red Foam)
Detail - Medium
Colour - 2nd Lightest
Cast (White Plaster)
Detail - Medium
Colour - Light
These settings are based upon previous tests but may need to be modified.

Changing the Default Scan Settings
The default settings used by Delcam Orthotic Insoles are specif ie d in
a text file. The values can be changed so that each sessi on uses a revised
set of values.
1. Ensure that Delcam Orthotic Insoles is not running.
2. Open the following file using a text editor:
[install
drive]/Delcam/PowerSHAPEXXXXX/file/orthotics/orthotics_scanner.con
3. Make the required changes to the file. Yo u can make the following
changes to the sett ing s:
Change to high definition foot capture (see page 41).
Change the default timer delay (see page 42).
Change the default scan model (see page 42).
Change the sensitivity and resolution (see page 43).
4. Save the changes you have made to the text file.
5. Restart Delcam Orthotic Insoles.
42 • Using the Delcam Orthotic Insoles Software Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual
Change to high definition foot c a pt ure mode
This can only be used with the E500 (5Camera) system
The foot capture mode uses the f ollowing section of the text file to set t he
scanner definition. By default, the fo ot capture m ode is set to 0 so that
three cameras are used to capture the fo ot definition.
If the scanner is an E500 model (5 cameras), it is advisa ble to change the
foot capture mode to High Definition by editing the text file to read:
capture_foot: 1
This mode captures more data around the heel region of the foot.
Change the timer delay
The default time delay is 5 seconds. Use the following section of the text
file to change the setting to reflect the delay you require:
Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual Using the Delcam Orthotic Insoles Software • 43
Change the default scan item
The item that is scanned is specified in the following section of the text
file:
By default, scan_item is set to 0 . This sets up the scanner to a foot.
Possible settings for scan_item are:
0 Foot
1 Cast
2 Foam Box
Changing the sensitivi ty and resolution
Delcam Orthotic Insoles software as been set up wit h the optimum
settings for scanning feet, foam boxes a nd casts. The scan results depend
on the following factors:
Lighting conditions (artificial lighting).
Colour of item being scanne d.
Level of detail required.
If the scan re sults are not satisfactory, try adjusting the default setting for
sensitivity and resolution.
Adjusting t he sensitivity settings may improve the scan results in the
following situations:
If the material is dar k , incre a si ng the sensitivity may improve the
scan result.
If the results are affected by artificia l lighting, reducing the
sensitivity settings ma y improve the scan result. Alternatively, try
moving the scanne r t o ano the r loc a ti on or tur n ng off the art if ic ia l
lighting.
Increasing the sensitivity ca ptures more data becaues the internal
cameras are ‘open’ for longer.
There is a greater risk of capturing ‘noisy’ data if the sensitivity is
increased. This will incre ase the time taken to process the mesh.
44 • Using the Delcam Orthotic Insoles Software Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual
Sensitivity
Sensitivity is controll ed in the following section of the text file:
The default sensitivity values are:
sensitivity_foot: high
sensitivity_foam: low
sensitivity_cast: very_l ow
The sensitivity settings can have the following values:
very_low
low
normal
high
very_high
Delcam iQube 2010 Reference Manual Using the Delcam Orthotic Insoles Software • 45
Resolution
The detail that is captured by the scan is controlled by adjusting the
resolution section of the text file:
The default resolution values are:
resolution _foot: 1.25
resolution _foam: 1.5
resolution _ca s t: 1.5
The resolution settings can have any value between 0.5 and 1.5.
When adjusting the resolution setting, you shoul d consider the following:
If you decrease the value(for example to 0.5), you are increasing
the detail because less points are being filtered out.
If you increase the resolution (by entering a smaller value), you
filter out le ss points and more detail will be retained. However, you
may introduce data that will hinder the c reation of a smooth
orthotic.
If you increase the resolution, the time taken to proc ess the mesh
will increase d.
