We catch up with Niles from Leonard Industries, our first-ever returning guest, as he reveals game-changing innovations in prosthetic and orthotic fabrication technology. This episode explores how new manufacturing tools are making fabrication faster, safer, and more consistent while helping address the industry's technical workforce challenges.
• Leonard Industries has expanded by acquiring a machine shop with enhanced capabilities
• Their revolutionary Wave Oven cuts heating time from 20 to 7 minutes using targeted infrared technology
• The oven creates consistent results with wider work windows, eliminating the need to flip materials
• Safety innovations include emergency stops, magnetic starters, and controlled heating
• Multiple oven models accommodate different fabrication needs, from standard to large KFO applications
• The "toast test" demonstrates heating consistency by showing how evenly bread slices brown
• Leonard Industries will showcase their technology at the upcoming AOPA conference
• The company has helped establish safer educational environments at O&P schools
• Niles emphasizes making fabrication more accessible to new technicians through consistency and automation
• Their aluminum construction ovens use less energy while providing more precise heating control
Visit the Leonard Industries booth at AOPA to see live demonstrations of their new fabrication technology, including the Wave Oven, dust collection systems, and fume extractors.
