Patient-specific biomechanics. Your design preferences. One workflow to a print-ready socket.
1. Product
Enter the patient details, suspension and liner, and choose the socket type.
2. Scan import
Import the 3D scan of the residual limb. SimFit accepts standard scan formats.
3. Anatomy model
Align the patient-specific bone model with the scan and adjust knee flexion and bone lengths. The cross section shows the soft tissue between bone and skin.
4. Shape
Set your design preferences: socket size, brim design, socket shape and adjustment areas. The CVB Engine then runs the biomechanical gait simulation in the cloud and designs the socket.
5. Fit
Review and fine-tune the socket. Then download the print-ready file. No manual CAD work required.
Our sockets are carefully designed and tested to be lightweight yet exceptionally strong and durable, giving patients the freedom and confidence to be active.
We provide socket designs optimised for both test and final use, utilising the FDM and SLS/MJF printing technologies.
The system is open — you are not tied to a specific printer manufacturer.

Snapform SimFit uses the CVB Engine to bring advanced simulation technology into socket design. It simulates how soft tissue and bones are loaded during movement, helping the prosthetist create a more precise, better-fitting socket.
Every design is tested across the gait cycle, analysing how soft tissue is loaded and how bones move relative to the socket — for example, how tibia is driven into the socket at heel strike.
Learn more about the CVB EngineSnapform SimFit was developed and refined through extensive use in our own clinic.
Over the past five years, we have worked with numerous patients to continuously test and improve both the software and the resulting socket designs—ensuring they perform reliably in real clinical conditions.
The result is a more consistent, scientifically grounded approach to socket design that supports better fit and improved patient mobility.
Do the design while the patient is in the clinic. The easy-to-use software lets you complete the design and prepare it for manufacturing within a single appointment.
The Snapform SimFit workflow enables a modern digital clinic powered by low-cost 3D printing, removing the need for expensive manual fabrication and large workshops. The output files are ready to print.
