Digital Shoe Design Kit

This kit contains all the digital parts you need to design your own basic running shoe.
These files are not meant to be printed directly. First, you will need to import them into your favourite 3D design software to texture, size, and combine according to your creative preferences. Final designs can be printed as you wish.

Note that this is a concept design kit. Shoes have not been tested for functional "wearability."

All parts are for the left shoe, but most programs have an option to “mirror” the object to create the right shoe.

These files are optimized for use with nTopology but can be used with most 3D editing software.

To create a basic, non-textured shoe, simply import, combine, and print your choice of the following files: “Outsole”, “Midsole”, “Upper”, “Toe Cup”, “Heel Counter”, “Heel Pull”, “Tongue” and “Laces”. If multicolor printing is an option, you may choose to print some parts in different colours.

This kit provides additional tools to customize three areas of the shoe: upper, the outer face of the midsole, and the outsole (or tread).

Upper

For the upper, surface texture can be applied directly to the “Upper” file. There are also two upper surfaces provided in Parasolid format. “Upper Surface” aligns with the outer surface of the upper and can be used to create conformal cell maps for “lightweighting” the upper volume with lattice or TPMS structures. “Upper…
