Delcam CRISPIN announced the 2013 versions of its ShoeMaker concept design for the footwear industry. Delcam CRISPIN is the world’s largest supplier of CADCAM software to the footwear industry and is the only supplier able to provide a complete solution for the design and manufacture of lasts, uppers and soles.
hoeMaker is the product of choice for 3D conceptual footwear design and is the only solution to combine the design and modelling of uppers and soles within the same 3D environment. The software helps users to produce realistic 3D footwear models for design and marketing reviews, whilst reducing the number of samples produced, improving communications between the design and manufacturing teams, and reducing overall product time to market. With any required design iterations easily made, the approved design model and flattened patterns are ready for engineering.
New functionality for ShoeMaker 2013 includes user-defined flattening for Offset Concept Lasts (OCL), improvements to the last import with automatic detection of the centre lines, and better control for the positioning of image stencils, including a three-point alignment tool. There is a new Flattening Parameter File editing tool for adjusting specific aspects of the flattened formes, plus some additional fine controls to change the shape of the flattening.
A special tool has been added to change the appearance of the design model to display a ‘relaxed look’ as if the last has been physically removed from the shoe. Finally, a new pattern assessment tool for pre-costing of the pattern pieces has been added.
