“…The proposed algorithm was successfully implemented in a commercial CAD/CAM system specialized for shoe-last making. Paris and Handley [13] have addressed the process of design and development of shoes using CAD/CAM and knowledge based systems. The process of collecting knowledge, formulating this into rules and using to select best fit shoes has been outlined.…”

The paper presents a work that shows an application of digital modeling of human body where CAD has been applied to design and develop a customized shoe last. The customization process has been divided into seven steps which have been mathematically modeled and implemented automatically through a program. The process starts with the generation of point cloud definition of the foot and existing lasts with an Optical Scanner. The point cloud data are registered and processed, and the last closest to the foot in shape and size is selected. B-spline curves and surface patches are fitted on to the point cloud of the last to generate a water-tight geometry of the last. The surface patches are then diagnosed and edited to conform to the geometry of the foot in the desired manner and a modified version of the last is prepared. This version is converted to STL file and rapid prototyping (RP) technology is used to fabricate a sample of the customized shoe last. The file can also be used to generate codes for CNC machining of the lasts in case of mass customization.

“…This is the process of conceptual design and is usually made on paper. However, in the recent years, CAD and VR tools are developed in order to support this process (Ye et al, 2008;Robertson and Radcliffe, 2009;Mermet and Roche, 1982;Paris and Handley, 2004;Vigano et al, 2004). In CAD systems, 3D digitisers are used to capture the geometry of existing lasts and store it in digital format.…”

This paper presents a new virtual-engineering platform, called as virtual shoe test bed (VSTB), for supporting the design of footwear from the engineering point of view. The proposed VSTB system includes various functional design criteria in order to support the definition of the best solution for each product utilising scenarios based on user needs and preferences. Using the proposed virtual-engineering system a designer is able to simulate the behaviour of footwear components and the interaction between shoe and user in order to derive a predictive estimation of the fitting, thermal comfort and 54 P. Azariadis et al.performance ratings without the necessity to manufacture and validate physical prototypes. The present paper describes the architecture, the tests implemented in the final system along with corresponding lab experiments conducted in terms of industrial validation. All results and hints for future research are reported and discussed.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Azariadis, P., Moulianitis, V., Melis, J.O., Alemany, S., González, J.C., de Jong, P., Dunias, P., van der Zande, M. and Brands, D.

This paper introduces an innovative Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) system called Virtual Shoe Test Bed (VSTB) for supporting the development of new shoe designs. The proposed system includes functional design criteria for the different shoe elements in order to support the definition of the best solution for each product based on user needs and preferences. This is achieved by simulating physical tests which predict the interaction between shoe and user in order to obtain an estimation of several performance ratings without the necessity to manufacture and validate physical prototypes. The paper presents all functional criteria simulated in VSTB which provide a unique framework for supporting shoe design from the engineering point of view.
