Parametric Design of Grasshopper Based on Moulding Characteristics of Longitudinal Profile of Shoe Last

Abstract

In order to achieve low-cost, high-efficiency customized footwear design and service to meet the individual needs of customers, quickly producing various types of shoe last based on different needs has become the key to customization. According to the moulding characteristics of the longitudinal profile of the shoe last, the key characteristic parameters and morphogenesis logic are found. Combined with the parameterized nonlinear thinking feature, the parameter logic is constructed. Rhino's parametric design plug-in Grasshopper is used to develop the shoe last design process. The automatic moulding process of the sectional view, combined with the parametric design of the shoe last and the cross-section of the shoe last, can form a quick custom shoe last method. A professional and rapid design method is formed to enhance the design and production efficiency of customized shoe lasts.
