Aluminum Solutions for Medical Technology: Precision Meets Progress

The apt Group supplies aluminum profiles for a forward-looking project in the field of medical technology: In collaboration with VITRONIC Machine Vision GmbH, prototypes are currently being developed for the new BodyLoop 3D body scanner.

The BodyLoop has explicitly been designed for use in orthopedics, rehabilitation, and professional sports. The device creates millimeter-precise 3D human body models using high-resolution sensors and automated image processing. This enables accurate diagnostics, motion analysis, and the custom production of orthopedic aids. Professional NFL teams in the United States already use a predecessor model. The new BodyLoop prototype is set to be delivered to a major international sporting goods manufacturer.

The apt Group supplies custom aluminum profiles produced at its centers of excellence for extrusion and further processing for the structural system. These profiles meet the highest dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical durability standards while offering low weight and excellent corrosion resistance.

This project highlights the growing importance of aluminum solutions in medical technology. Together with VITRONIC, additional applications – such as efficient cooling components for medical devices – are already being explored.
