Podiatrist-designed · MotionX precision-printed
Custom 3D orthotics,
crafted for you.
Same-roof biomechanical assessment, precision 3D foot scanning and MotionX 3D printing on HP Multi Jet Fusion — designed end-to-end by podiatrists who understand how your whole body moves, not just your feet.
Our approach
Orthotics designed around your whole body, not just your feet.
80% of Australians live with poor body alignment — pain in the knees, hips, lower back or arches is often a downstream symptom of how your feet land with every step. Generic over-the-counter inserts can’t fix that. Custom orthotics, designed by a podiatrist who’s analysed your full kinetic chain, can.
At Ace Health Centre we own the entire orthotic journey end-to-end — gait analysis, 3D foot scanning, digital CAD design, MotionX 3D printing on an HP Multi Jet Fusion printer, and personalised in-clinic fitting. Your podiatrist specs every step, including the print itself.
Orthotic types
Six orthotic families. One precision lab.
Maximum biomechanical correction for arthritis, plantar fasciitis and structural alignment. Lightweight, MotionX-printed on HP Multi Jet Fusion in medical-grade polymer.

The Ace difference
Why Gold Coast patients choose Ace.
Every pair is printed through MotionX on an HP Multi Jet Fusion printer — the precision standard used in elite sports medicine. Your podiatrist specs the print, not an offshore generic-lab technician.
Your podiatrist scans, designs and signs off on every pair — not an offshore lab technician. Clinical accountability is built in.
Orthotics work best alongside hands-on physio when needed. Our co-founders Mike Luker (podiatry) and Amelia Stewart (physiotherapy) work together on complex cases.
For athletes and high-demand feet we offer next-generation top covers most clinics can’t. A-TPU is a lattice-structured foam — same supplier as the Puma Nitro Elite — delivering high energy return, durability and consistent response where standard EVA flattens out. PEBA supercritical foam is the elite tier for high-mileage competitive runners chasing maximum energy return per stride.
How it works
From walking through the door to walking pain-free.
We analyse your full kinetic chain — spine, hips, knees and gait — not just your feet. We listen to your activities, pain points and shoe preferences so the orthotic suits your life, not a template.
Millimetre-accurate laser scanning captures the exact 3D geometry of each foot. No plaster casts, no foam impressions — just digital precision.
Your podiatrist designs the orthotic in CAD — adjusting arch height, posting, cutouts and rocker geometry pixel by pixel to your assessment findings.
Your design is sent to MotionX for precision 3D printing on an HP Multi Jet Fusion printer in medical-grade polymer, with precision-bonded accommodative top-covers. We then verify fit and tune at your in-clinic fitting appointment. Most orthotics ready within ~10 business days.
Meet your podiatrist
Mike Luker — Gold Coast’s go-to for precision orthotics.
With 15+ years in clinical podiatry and a long-standing MotionX 3D-printing partnership, Mike Luker has designed thousands of pairs of orthotics for Gold Coast patients — from professional athletes and dancers to diabetic feet and growing children.
His philosophy: orthotics are a medical device, not a shoe insert. Every pair is designed for your biomechanics, your activities and your shoes — and signed off by him personally.

Funding & rebates
Use your extras before they reset.
Most Australian private-health extras cover a significant portion of custom orthotics — and unused balance resets at year-end. We process HICAPS on-the-spot rebates for all 12 major funds, plus accept NDIS, DVA, Medicare EPC, and WorkCover. Bring your card, we handle the rest.
Areas we serve
Patients travel to us from across the Gold Coast.
Frequently asked
Common orthotics questions, answered.
Q01How long does it take to get my custom orthotics?
Most pairs are ready within ~10 business days from your assessment. Our MotionX partnership and streamlined design-to-print workflow cuts weeks off the conventional generic-lab turnaround. Urgent cases can sometimes be expedited — ask at booking.
Q02How much do custom orthotics cost?
Investment depends on the orthotic type and your specific design needs — discussed transparently at your assessment. Most patients claim a significant portion back on private-health extras via HICAPS (processed on-the-spot in our rooms), and NDIS/DVA/WorkCover funding is accepted.
Q03How are MotionX 3D orthotics different from over-the-counter inserts?
OTC inserts are mass-produced from a template — they don’t match your foot, address your specific alignment issues or work with your shoes. Our 3D-printed orthotics are millimetre-accurate, designed by a podiatrist for your kinetic chain and clinically signed off.
Q04Do I need a referral?
No referral needed for self-funded or private-extras patients. EPC (Medicare team-care arrangement) and DVA referrals are welcome. NDIS plans are honoured.
Q05How long will my orthotics last?
3D-printed orthotics typically last 3-5 years for adults, depending on activity volume. Soft accommodative orthotics last 1-2 years. We refurbish and re-cover existing orthotics where the shell is still good — much cheaper than starting again.
