Abstract

A shoe with a three-dimensional (3-D) surface texture created using rapid manufacturing techniques is provided. A plurality of 3-D surface texture options is presented on a user interface; each of the options is associated with one of a plurality of 3-D surface textures to be applied to a portion of a shoe. A selection of a 3-D surface texture is received and is used in part to generate a design file. The design file is used to instruct a rapid manufacturing device to manufacture the portion of the shoe comprised of the 3-D surface texture using a rapid manufacturing technique.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The manufacture of shoes is often a labor-intensive and inefficient process, often leaving customers with little opportunity to customize shoes according to their personal taste or functional needs. Additionally, shoes are often manufactured using conventional materials that may not be optimal for the individual needs of the customer. Summary of the invention [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0003] At a high level, the present invention is directed to shoes with custom three-dimensional (3-D) textures and custom 3-D functional shoe parts generated using rapid manufacturing techniques. A user can select from a plurality...
