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 my previous 3DShoemaker post, I introduced the latest 3D printed shoe model I’ve been working on. The main improvement since earlier designs is the breathable upper. Both stl files and customizable 3DShoemaker models are available here. In this post, I’m going to show how I created the separate upper […]
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 […]
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 […]
