3D FOOTWEAR DESIGN First software for footwear design and pattern making that gathers two working environments in one software, virtual 3D and technical 2D, which operate simultaneously. 2D/3D FOOTWEAR DESIGN AND PATTERN ENGINEERING For the acquisition of 2D patterns with a pinpoint accuracy from 3D lasts. Designs can be drawn directly upon a 3D last and perfect, flattened 2D designs can be obtained. 3D LAST DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING From real lasts previously digitised, the system allows their combination and editing through many 2D and 3D tools. FOOTWEAR SOLE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING For intuitive and simple creation of the different sole elements from a digitised last and through reverse engineering. A complex outsole can be designed to be printed in 3D. 3D ANATOMIC INSOLE DESIGN It allows the automation of tasks that are usually performed manually by podiatrists, from insole design to manufacturing. FOOTWEAR CONFIGURATOR It allows the 3D and web-based display of footwear models, as well as the possibility of combining different materials, colours and textures, in an instantaneous and simple way. (function($) $('img:first', $('#wk-grid36f')).each(function() var $img = $(this), $canvas = $('').attr(width:$img.attr('width'), height:$img.attr('height')), img = new Image; $img.css('display', 'none').after($canvas); img.onload = function() $canvas.remove(); $img.css('display', ''); ; img.src = this.src; ); )(jQuery);
Robotics allows companies to conform to the new Industry 4.0 scenario.In this sense, INESCOP provides services on collaborative robotic systems implementation in footwear companies and advanced robotic solutions for the footwear manufacturing industry, using for that purpose:
We provide advice to companies on any aspect related to technology applied to footwear with respect to both improvement of products focusing on product development at the technical office, and production processes with the integration of robotic systems in production lines.

INESCOP is a Centre for Technology and Innovation, founded in 1971 as a private and nonprofit association. With more than 45 years of experience, the Institute provides technology services, transfers knowledge and conducts research on general relevant topics for the footwear sector. Based on top of Rhino, INESCOP has developed the following solutions for complex insole and outsole design: ICad3DP is a software for 3D sole design with many tools for the intuitive and simple creation of the different sole elements, from a digitized last through reverse engineering. A complex outsole can be designed to be printed in 3D.It also includes specific tools to design heels, platforms, top pieces, top piece molds, as well as machining paths. IcadPAN is a 3D anatomic insoles design software with an intuitive interface, which allows automatization of many tasks that professionals in the podology sector usually do by hand, from the design to the manufacturing of the insole. It enables the personalization of the insole to adapt it to the characteristics and needs of each patient.
Additive manufacturing may increase competiveness of the footwear industry, since it provides more technically and functionally advanced components that offer an immediate response to the changing market needs
The CAD process has been subject to the inherent limitations of traditional manufacturing methods, since the product design must be made considering how and by what means it is going to be manufactured. The emergence of additive manufacturing has put an end to these limitations, and therefore, it is necessary to provide specific design tools that can take full advantage of the possibilities that this manufacturing method entails. In line with this, INESCOP aims to develop CAD design tools that can be used along with 3D printing and can be implemented by footwear companies, especially those with state-of-the-art and quite restrictive technologies, such as Polyjet 3D printing.
Additive manufacturing provides footwear with new properties by introducing modifications in the 3D design. In this sense, INESCOP seeks to establish design procedures that can modify anti-slip, cushioning and hardness properties, and make them available for the companies of the sector.
Another substantial research line as regards additive manufacturing is the functionalisation of 3D printing materials. The properties envisaged are of great relevance for certain production environments. One example of this is providing the manufacturing material of footwear outsoles with antimicrobial properties so as to avoid biological contamination caused by the movement of operators.
Accelerate the design process and the development of all types of footwear through the use of the most advanced and innovative CAD / CAM solutions on the market, reducing costs, improving quality and increasing the productivity and competitiveness of your business.

Design, create and modify footwear models, and their patterns, parallel and simultaneously in 3D or 2D with absolute reliability and precision. Make flattenings of any last, including boots and ankle boots, with total accuracy. Modify with a simple "click" The flattened, avoiding the repetition of the processes that would have to be carried out if these modifications were made manually. Create, or import, flats, heels, ornaments and accessories quickly and easily, thanks to its intuitive interface. Customize and get images that look as hyper-realistic as a photograph taken from real shoe models. Simulate shoe loosening by adding realism to your models.
This is my first post and I want to share my recent work.Here are some personal projects, done with 3d footwear application from Inescop (3D Plus) and rendered with Maxwell Render.Both programs are from Spain.
When the user is a shoe designer, they are creating and designing, they are doing tests, taking decisions, is a very creative process. And sometimes is faster than anothers.If the model has to do a 3D designer for a footwear designer (because some footwear designers dont want to use the 3d platform), modeling is faster, but there are a lot of interpretations, iterations, and often have to repeat the pattern until the designer approves. The whole process is slower.
In this paper, we present a robotic workcell for task automation in footwear manufacturing such as sole digitization, glue dispensing, and sole manipulation from different places within the factory plant. We aim to make progress towards shoe industry 4.0. To achieve it, we have implemented a novel sole grasping method, compatible with soles of different shapes, sizes, and materials, by exploiting the particular characteristics of these objects. Our proposal is able to work well with low density point clouds from a single RGBD camera and also with dense point clouds obtained from a laser scanner digitizer. The method computes antipodal grasping points from visual data in both cases and it does not require a previous recognition of sole. It relies on sole contour extraction using concave hulls and measuring the curvature on contour areas. Our method was tested both in a simulated environment and in real conditions of manufacturing at INESCOP facilities, processing 20 soles with different sizes and characteristics. Grasps were performed in two different configurations, obtaining an average score of 97.5% of successful real grasps for soles without heel made with materials of low or medium flexibility. In both cases, the grasping method was tested without carrying out tactile control throughout the task. 2ff7e9595c
