We used the Boolean Union feature on MeshMixer to create one solid out of the left and right attachments and the custom insole. Because this is a custom product, the dimensions of the insole as well at the attachments will differ per person. The dimensions for this particular spline attachment are: X: 4 in. Y: 0.95 in. Z: 5.381 in. We can now think about whether it would be more effective, secure, and/or comfortable with one or both attachments. We can make further adjustments as we test out different designs.

Also, an idea for the elasticity function could be to have snap-on attachments that connect to each section of the brace with an elastic band in between and the strength can be adjusted by snapping on the pieces closer together or farther apart.
