What’s more, designers are no longer hindered by the restrictions of conventional manufacturing techniques, so they are free to create - even the most outrageous designs are not out of the question! The shoes were developed in ShoeMaker, which Delcam CRISPIN boasts is “the only footwear design system that integrates fully 3D designs of lasts (the 360° mold upon which a shoe is constructed), uppers, and soles.” The complete CAD model of the shoe is developed and visualized in the single ShoeMaker system.ĭelcam CRISPIN regards its footwear design software, ShoeMaker, as a means by which designers can incorporate new materials and the increased design freedom of 3D modeling and printing without sacrificing the comfort of traditional materials like leather. The shoes, which don’t conceal their hybrid nature, feature a leather upper and a 3D-printed sole and heel. Delcam CRISPIN makes possible the mass customization of footwear and will show off its hybrid high heels in Milan.
At the show, Delcam CRISPIN, the footwear branch of Delcam, one of the leading global suppliers of advanced CAD/CAM solutions for the manufacturing industry, will demonstrate its footwear design software, ShoeMaker.
In fact, says the company, it is “possible for these supposedly conflicting forms of manufacturing to coexist.”ĭelcam CRISPIN is rolling out its hybrid part-traditional, part-tech shoe designs at the SIMAC exhibition (SIMAC & TANNING-TECH, a major industry expo showcasing the latest innovations in the shoe and leather goods, and tanning industries), which is being held in fashionable Milan from February 25 to February 27. One pretty ingenious way they’re doing so is by demonstrating that traditional and contemporary methods of shoe-making needn’t be mutually exclusive. We’re pleased to see that Delcam CRISPIN is in the vanguard of such efforts. Some folks are getting it right, combining comfort and aesthetics with customization, and there’s little doubt that the industry will continue developing new techniques for bringing 3D design and printing of footwear closer to the mainstream and, consequently, more affordable. Other, less gravity-defying footwear like Pensar’s DNA line of footwear seems infinitely more wearable yet still beautiful - shoes seemingly made of leaded glass but in actuality quite comfortable (according to Pensar).
