Application Analysis of 3D Printing Technology in Design Field: Taking Shoe Design as an Example

Abstract

The development of 3D technology has brought opportunities and challenges to the footwear industry because people’s living standards have been improving due to economic development, and people have higher requirements for the design of fashion shoes and boots. The use of 3D printing technology in the design of fashion shoes and boots can enable faster molding of footwear products, enrich the shape of footwear, and meet people’s aesthetic needs for fashion shoes. In this paper, we firstly describe the advantages of 3D printing molding shoe models and then use 3D laser foot scanning and measuring instrument to scan and obtain the cloud map of shoe lasts and foot-related data. Secondly, we realize the digital management of shoe lasts by establishing the database of solid models. On this basis, we apply the technology of least squares support vector machine improvement algorithm to make partial modifications to the lasts according to the need to leave the appropriate helper and foot lining degrees. Finally, based on this technology, we apply the least squares support vector machine improvement algorithm technology to make partial modifications to the last shape according to the need for appropriate helper and foot lining degrees to realize the process of shoe last redesign. The last model and role model can also be produced by 3D printing technology, which can be used as a mold to facilitate the processing of the cut last 2D unfolding material for shoe and boot production later. Therefore, the article studies and analyzes the design and manufacturing process of digital shoe lasts based on individual foot shape and uses CAD/CAM technology to realize the digitalization of shoe last design.

Ispitivanje otpornosti na plošno habanje 3D ispisanih ispitnih tijela iz akrilonitril/butadien/stirena postupkom taložnog očvršćivanja

“…ABS is a plastomeric amorphous polymer composed of polymerizable styrene, acrylonitrile and polybutadiene and generally has good flexural strength at reduced temperature, satisfactory stiffness and dimensional stability, glossy surface and the ability to perform functional testing of parts [9,10]. The application of AM processes in the footwear industry for the production of complete shoe models or individual parts such as soles or heels is becoming increasingly important [11][12][13][14]. Shoes or their parts produced using the FDM process are no longer a novelty, but represent a hybrid fusion of traditional footwear and innovative 3D printing technology [15][16][17][18].…”
