This is just a quick update to show that leg sections are now available for some 3DShoemaker shoe lasts. They can be 3D printed, are available as physical samples, and also as fully parametric models in the 3DShoemaker plugin for Rhino3D. Leg sections aren’t typically necessary for making most boots, […]

In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to explain how the newly available shoe last outlines can be used to help with online shoe sizing. This will be useful for both shoe businesses and individual shoemakers, including those 3D printing the entirety of the shoe. And for those using the 3DShoeamaker […]
In previous 3DShoemaker tutorials, I’ve explained how to 3D print and assemble a couple different kinds of shoe last joints using the models available on 3DShoemaker.com. This was handy for shoemakers that don’t necessarily want to get into computer aided design of shoe lasts but do happen to have access […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll show you how 3D printable models can be used to manage leg length discrepancies. I’ll explain how to order models of shoes, shoe lasts, orthotic insoles, soles, and other components for this purpose. And if you stick around till the end, I’ll get into the […]
In this 3DShoemaker post I’m going to get into 3D printed mockup shoes, sometimes known as fitting models or trial shoes, and how they can save big on time, energy, and materials. This is particularly useful for custom shoe making but is also useful for other applications, including fully 3D […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to introduce the Cyber Clog, my second fully customizable 3D printable shoe design. I’ll also get into variable infill densities. In an earlier post, I introduced the first 3D printed shoes I’ve developed that I actually really like wearing. The key was the degree […]
After a few attempts at 3D printed shoes, I’ve finally developed something I actually really like wearing. They are clogs, and I’m not talking about the kind that jam up your nozzle. I like them so much that I’ve made 3D models of them available for anyone to order on […]
In this 3DShoemaker tutorial, I’m going to show you how to 3D print foamy orthotic insoles using models from 3DShoemaker.com and filament that should work on pretty much any modern desktop 3D printer. The results are quite impressive, and the cost is similar to buying off-the-shelf insoles and far cheaper […]
In this 3DShoemaker tutorial, I’m going to introduce the new digital vacuum forming tool for automatically fitting orthotics to foot models. Before getting started explaining the new vacuum forming tools in 3DShoemaker, I’ll first point out to those simply looking for 3D printable orthotics to put in shoes that these […]
This post is just a quick update on a design change for the 3D printed shoe last alpha joint (V-hinge). These joints are available with both physical and digital shoe lasts models here on 3DShoemaker.com and can even be designed using the 3DShoemaker plugin for Rhino. See here for the […]
