Nomad Sculpt Foundations for Custom Hand Splints

Design custom 3D-printed splints from a 3D scan, step by step.

Foundations is the first course in the series. It teaches a complete workflow in Nomad Sculpt that takes you from a raw hand scan to a printable splint, and gets you comfortable with the interface and essential tools along the way.

The course covers:

  • Importing and cleaning a 3D hand scan
  • Creating accurate trim lines and smooth anatomical fits
  • Extracting a custom splint directly from the scan
  • Applying offsets for comfort and real-world wear
  • Preparing your design for 3D printing

About 70 minutes of step-by-step video, plus an example 3D scan file so you can practice along with the lessons.

No prior Nomad Sculpt experience is needed. It works on an iPad or a desktop or laptop running Nomad Sculpt.

Nomad Secrets for Hand Splints

Advanced Nomad Sculpt techniques for custom thumb spica design, in five lessons.

Nomad Secrets is the second course in the series. It moves past the foundational scan-to-splint workflow into the techniques that give you finer control over shape, fit, and finish.

The five lessons cover:

  • Anatomy correction on a raw 3D scan
  • Facegroups for precise, isolated editing
  • Boolean operations for clean, printable geometry
  • Building functional components into the design
  • A 10-step master workflow that ties the whole process together

Downloadable course files are included so you can follow along with the same models used in the lessons.

Lesson 5 uses the Quad Remesher plug-in by Exoside, which is a separate purchase, and 16 GB of RAM is recommended. Lessons 1 to 4 need neither.
