For our final project we want to 3D print a shoe with complex designs that involve algorithmic techniques. We may explore different filaments and mess with GCode in our process. As for deliverables, we want a fully wearable shoe or pair of shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bat-Ochir and Ryan Cruz<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nov. 14-15: Research materials and designs in order to create structurally sound rough draft of shoe. Know which materials and processes are needed and compile those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nov. 21-22: By using algorithmic process and grasshopper we’ll have initial designs coded and available in Rhino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nov. 28-29: Start printing models in order to have fully printed rough handheld designs and checking for any imperfections in order to improve final design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dec. 5-6: By tweaking any imperfections and nailing down our design we will have a final model ready and printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following link includes a paper that discusses the current state and future of footwear. It’ll help us see what techniques and challenges we need to discuss when designing the base of the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’ll help us look at some standard process for creating footwear but more important what kind of material is being used in these designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
