What You’ll Learn

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

Import and clean a 3D hand scan in Nomad Sculpt
Create accurate trim lines and smooth anatomical fits
Extract a custom splint directly from the scan
Apply offsets for comfort and real-world wear
Prepare your design for 3D printing, including flat trim lines and clean geometry for easier printing

You’ll also become comfortable navigating the Nomad Sculpt interface and using essential tools such as the gizmo, masking tools, and remeshing features.

This course focuses on a foundational workflow for designing splints directly from a 3D scan using simple, effective tools in Nomad Sculpt. More advanced techniques—such as refined surface control, custom perforations, and additional design features—will be covered in future modules.

Who This Course Is For

Hand therapists and occupational therapists
Clinicians interested in digital design and 3D printing
Engineers working in orthotics or medical applications
Anyone looking to learn a practical workflow for custom splint design

What’s Included

~70 minutes of step-by-step video content
A complete workflow from scan → splint
Example 3D scan file for practice

About the Instructor

This course was created to help clinicians and engineers learn an accessible, practical workflow for designing custom splints using affordable tools like Nomad Sculpt.

Why This Course

There are currently very few resources that teach clinicians how to design splints digitally using accessible software.

This course is designed to bridge that gap—bringing clinical reasoning into a digital workflow without requiring expensive or proprietary programs.

What You’ll Need

An iPad with Nomad Sculpt installed
Or a desktop/laptop running Nomad Sculpt
A 3D hand scan file (an example file is included in the course)

No prior experience with Nomad Sculpt is required. This course is designed to be accessible using affordable tools and a streamlined workflow.

Nomad Sculpt can be downloaded at nomadsculpt.com.

Optional Add-On

Additional Practice Scans

To help you build confidence and expand your skills, additional 3D hand scan files are available for purchase.

These scans allow you to practice designing splints on different hand types and explore a wider range of clinical applications beyond the core course example.

Includes:

Intrinsic plus hand position (ideal for radial and ulnar gutter splint designs)
Additional hand scans representing different hand types (e.g., male and female anatomy)

These files can be used to develop your own custom splint designs and reinforce the workflow taught in the course.

The main course includes one example scan. This pack is optional for additional practice and is designed to reflect real clinical scenarios and common splinting positions.
