3D Printing

In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to show you how you can 3D print just about any shoe last model you have access to, which includes shoe lasts outside the 3DShoemaker ecosystem. I’ll even show how to include a joint for de-lasting in the print. When I first started getting […]
In this 3DShoemaker video I’m going to highlight how a company called Oxman has been using 3DShoemaker to develop a special kind of shoe last for their robotically 3D printed biodegradable shoes. If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. I guess that is why […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to demonstrate how the Vacuum Form tool can be used to adapt a shoe last to match up with a foot model while preserving toe box style and still allowing for the various post processing tools, such as 3D printable joint designs, mockup models, […]
In this 3DShoemaker video I’m going to introduce my latest 3D printed shoes. I’ve used the same foaming TPU I’ve used previously but have a new twist, which is a breathable upper. I’m printing on my recently acquired Bambulab H2D, making full use of the high build height and dual […]
The Bambulab H2D is very nearly the shoemaking machine I have been waiting for for nearly a decade. With ample build volume and dual nozzles, this thing is a useful tool for shoemakers and also has potential for making fully functional 3D printed shoes. And it comes at a price […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to explain how to order fit customizations for shoes and shoe lasts on 3DShoemaker.com. I’ll also cover how such customizations are made in the 3DShoemaker design software for the benefit of those using it. Prior to the industrial revolution, bespoke footwear was fairly common. […]
I recently came across this 3D printable foot measuring device similar to a Brannock device. Seeing as I’m in to all things 3D printing and footwear related, I figured I had to print one myself and try it out. In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll give my thoughts on it. Having […]
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 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 […]
