BK Check & Definitive Socket Digital Workflows for O+P Professionals
Accredited Education from ABCOP
6.00 Science Credits
Learn to craft FDM or MJF sockets for your clinic
Welcome to a game-changing revolution in prosthetics! Are you ready to unleash your creativity and transform the world of 3D printing in the orthotics and prosthetics field?
Learn exactly what you need in your digital workflows to be able to design and digitally fabricate sockets, with the O+P Digital Designer Academy course on prosthetic socket design.
View the final model you will make by the end of this training.
Fully custom feature rich socket design for 3D printing
After this training, you will have working knowledge and workflows in how to use Fusion 360 parametric CAD software to help you in product design for O&P check and end use sockets.
Learn how to:
Create variable liners
Hardshell check sockets and definitive sockets
Adjustable sockets with BOA cabling systems
Lattice designs built native in F360
Learn about a variety of mounting strategies for various printing materials
You don't need expensive lattice software with these templates.
Learn how to create lattice structures to reinforce your socket distal ends, or use it as a surface treatment across the entire surface.
We create general purpose lattices, flexible lattices, and knurled/ variable thickness lattices .
Easy, repeatable and functionally effective designs. Take the templates you make in this course and recycle them in your work.
Mounting templates and examples
learn what has been done with MJF and FDM centric designs in the past. We look at designs from other providers, and compare them against the results in this training.
Variable wall thickness and control
Create easy workflows that allow you to affect the surface thickness, giving you control over the structure's behavior.
BOA cabling systems
Learn how to map and execute cabling systems in butterfly sockets, for use in your MJF design workflows.
Choose how you modify, multiple workflows are included
Getting from Scan to CAD has never been easier, now with this training, we are excited to announce two FREE methods to getting your residual scans modified and prepared for F360. Use O+PDD methods or use your own skills in other software, we show you how to do both!
Made in partnership with Mike Nadata, CPO at NY Rehab
NY Rehab in New York is one of our pioneers in design training, and their journey has led to a remarkable breakthrough. They've harnessed digital design training and innovation to create definitive sockets that not only cost a fraction of traditional methods but also deliver improved performance and patient satisfaction.
Learn about their journey and the year of development that went into creating this affordable solution, with Mike Nadata, CPO who took this training and adopted it into his practice, with tangible results that can be shared with the world.
Real results, a real journey, and you can be apart of it. Everything he learned with his team is in this training package.

Meeting with Arthur has been a blessing to me. Arthur literally got interested in my project and ever since then he has been not just a tutor but an ever supportive person to me. I think what makes a tutor is not just the fact that you can teach but when you can be there anytime for your student. Arthur has been a great part of Dynalimb helping us to fit patients here in Nigeria. It’s amazing how our distance has never been an issue. I’m not just here recommending you to anybody. But I’m here to say thank you for all you do. And for everyone you can never have anyone as good, and supportive as Arthur.

prosthetist and orthotist technician at national orthopedic hospital igbobi Lagos , Founder Dynalimb Technologies.
"The collaborative thinking has been fantastic with Arthur, what we were able to do together was really question how are you able to use fusion 360, and you went to areas and features that know one else thought of, features that were used in different industries, gathered the best of them and put them into a format that created a workflow that leveraged the strengths of each package, so we were were able to consistently get more and more work done using fusion 360."
Mark Roser
Founder, Principal Investigator at Results Group LLC
"Before taking this Fusion 360 course online, I had minimal knowledge of working in CAD. Watching the instructional videos taught me new techniques and workflows I would have never known on my own. I can now confidently say that my comprehension of CAD is substantially improved, and I hope to learn more in the future!"
Trevor Neal
Graduate Student at Sacred Heart University
Easy to follow and produces strong skills! The strength of the program is its logical explanation and focus on approaches to motivate efficient CAD habits. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to become proficient fast and can appreciate a thoughtfully constructed course! Looking forward to the next courses from O-P Digital.
Thomas Cotton
Product Engineer at Flyband
Since Arthur had been in the O&P industry prior, he understood the many clinical challenges that I as an Orthotist faced. Other than guiding me the know how’s with the software, we had so much fun designing together on new products to make things better. I highly recommend anyone who has a passion and vision of taking things to the digital space to embark on this course.

Arthur Hobden is teaching me about Autodesk Fusion 360 and prosthetic workflows. I highly suggest checking out his courses and you even get CEU's! Its a great place to start and get empowered to do your own digital work with a cost effective solution.
Brent Wright
CPO at Eastpoint O&P
Just finished the "Cad and Product Design for O+P Professionals from Arthur Hobden. I worked with Fusion 360 in school and on and off since then, but this course was a great way to get back into it with some tools that are very specific to #oandp. He does a great job of showing you how it's relevant for the devices we design and fit!

If you change your mind, no problem...
Investing in your skills is a scary task, and its no easy thing to start. If you change your mind within 30 days, you will be refunded the cost of the course.
no questions asked.
Hi, I'm Arthur Hobden
Industrial Designer, CAD Operator, Digital Design Specialist
Arthur is a 3d print designer who has spent the last 8 years working as a 3d scanning specialist and industrial designer, and focuses on 3d design workflows that leverage both technologies in any custom fab setting. Arthur has worked in automotive, medical, engineering, dental, prototyping, pcb enclosures, props and film and also O&P, among others. With a passion for the 3d printing medium and software workflows, Arthur has implemented training for systems workflow for several practitioners, and uses his software skillset that bridges all genres of design to create catered, agnostic methodologies that allow users to not only learn the software tools to complete their jobs, but grow their CAD skills in highly versatile ways that can be compared against the context of what other fabrication industries are already doing.
