In this 3DShoemaker post I’m going to introduce a custom sandal that can be made without a shoe last. 3D printed foaming TPU is used for the complex 3D geometries of the sandal optionally including the tread, while the footbed cover and upper are natural leathers that envelope the foot. […]
In this 3DShoemaker post I’m going to introduce a novel Heel Height and Wedge Angle Gauge for shoe last measurement. There are two different styles of the gauge and it is available both as a physical 3D print you can have shipped to you and a digital model you can […]

In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to get into the new types of flattened upper forms and layouts for pattern design that are available for shoe lasts in the 3DShoemaker ecosystem. I’ll explain how orders can be placed for 2D or 3D printing. And I’ll also touch on the novel […]
In this 3DShoemaker video, I’m going to show how supplements, which resemble orthotic insoles, can be created in conjunction with trimmed shoe lasts. This combination of shoemaking elements is often used for true custom orthopedic shoemaking. The workflow I’ll demonstrate also employs automated digital vacuum forming and is exceptionally fast […]
