La digital fabrication – fabbricazione digitale, stampa 3D – può essere applicata in ambito calzaturiero? Su questo tema Faberlab, Confartigianato Imprese Varese e Confartigianato Lomellina hanno promosso il 28 settembre 2015 un workshop sulle tecniche del digital manufacturing all’interno dei processi produttivi del settore scarpe. “La rivoluzione del fare impresa: creatività e digital fabrication per il settore calzaturiero“ è stata l’occasione per presentare da una parte i lavori del progetto Londra e contemporaneamente per focalizzare l’attenzione sulle possibili applicazioni della digital fabbrication in ambito calzaturiero. La presentazione di Zoe Romano, di We Make Milano

5. • RepRap project (Replication Rapid-
Prototyper) is a movement with the
aim to provide open source 3D
printers, DIY and at low price
• The first RepRap was invented in
2004 by Adrian Bowyer, professor at
university of Bath.
• The printer has the capacity of
printing most of his parts and create a
copy of itself.

13. "It’s stupid to 3-D print an entire shoe “
“Mass-producing a shoe in the traditional way costs a couple of
dollars maybe, while 3-D printing one costs hundreds due to time and
materials." Better is to leverage the technology’s strength—its ability
to customize—and print only the shoe parts that would benefit from
it, such as insoles or cleats

14. "Fashion designers normally don't work in 3-D
in an advanced manner”
“Even Iris van Herpen needs architects to get all her 3-D work done."

19. Behrad Ghodsi
Behrad Ghodsi is aTehran based Industrial
designer who created ATOSSA.The purpose
of this project is to develop a range of stylish
footwear design concepts to be made with
3D printing technology, which would speed
up the production process and reduce the
cost of production.
This idea will allow everyone to use these
prepared design and print usable products by
a regular 3D printer.

20. Eric Meijer
Dutch designer who has
combined 3D printed plastics
and steel with traditional
fabrication methods in the
name of a new shoe collection
that he has called “Eye Candy
Shoes“
“Assembly could be done in
less than 10 minutes and the
shoes are ready for shipping.
The big advantages of this will
be no more need for stock, or
expensive machines for
assembly.”
