Example Embodiment

[0016] The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] A method for 3D printing personalized shoe soles, including the following steps: (1) Using an image capture device to obtain a picture of the customer's foot; (2) The customer selects a shoe sole from the database provided by the manufacturer; (3) The computer is processed by software The foot pictures generate a 3D model of the foot, and the corresponding sole 3D model and parameters are generated according to the style of the sole selected by the customer; (4) According to the 3D model and parameters of the sole, at least one 3D printer will squeeze the hot-melted raw material through the nozzle in a line The resulting form is sprayed on the midsole to form the sole.

[0018] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the above step (4), the 3D printer uses a six-axis manipulator to drive the nozzle to perform movable spraying with an adjustable angle. The six-axis manipulator allow...

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printing method of personalized shoe soles and a system using the method and relates to the field of production of shoes. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a foot image by using an image acquisition device; selecting a shoe sole type in a database provided by a manufacturer via a client; processing the foot image via a computer through software to generate a foot 3D model, and generating a corresponding shoe sole 3D model and parameters with reference to the shoe sole type; and spraying the raw material to a midsole via a 3D printer through a nozzle in a line extrusion manner according to the shoe sole 3D model and parameters. The method has the beneficial effects that dies do not need to be arranged, the client can directly customize the shoe sole to the manufacturer via Internet, the raw material is sprayed to the midsole by the nozzle in the line extrusion manner, the method is more accurate than the existing method of coating layer by layer via the 3D printer, the method is capable of forming various shoe sole patterns on the shoe sole, the production is more rapid, and the efficiency is higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of footwear manufacturing, in particular to a method for 3D printing personalized soles and a system for applying the method. Background technique [0002] 3D printing (3DP) is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology based on digital model files and using bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by layer-by-layer printing. [0003] There are following problems in the technique of traditional production sole: 1. The traditional production technique of sole is to shape raw material into various sizes and different styles of soles by means of moulds. For different styles and different sizes of soles, different molds need to be opened, resulting in increased production costs, and the molds also need to be replaced regularly. 2. Different molds need to be set up for different styles of soles, and the price of one mold is much higher than that of a pair of shoes. The manu...
