Shoe Last Maker is the first and only fully parametric shoe last design software. If you’re just getting started, please first check out the introduction tutorial. Then to learn more, please check out some more detailed tutorials below.
Every time a shoe last is designed with Shoe Last Maker, the framework curves are created entirely from a set of controllable parameters. Then surfaces are fit through the curves to design the shoe last model. There is no reliance on surfaces nor curves from existing shoe lasts. This makes Shoe Last Maker the most scientific system for designing the core geometry of footwear. And with a more scientific approach comes the possibly of better standardization, customization, performance, and footwear comfort.
Shoe Last Maker operates as a plugin within the commercial CAD software Rhino3D. The plugin can be downloaded here. The shoe last design software beta is available here: Shoe Last Design Software. And the templates are available here: Shoe Last Design Software Templates.
