A hybrid of traditional Shoemaking and 3D Print technology / Ross Barber

Posted in Design - Fashion by * FORMAKERS

MA Footwear student Ross Barber shows new 3D printed components combined with traditional shoe making craft at the LCF MA graduate exhibition.

Previewing carbon black 'soft-touch' flexible material with sponsorship from EOS, and utilising optimised material structures from Within Labs - which create the organic sole and overshoe structures by generating honeycomb like structures in a software package normally used for medical implants and aerospace engineering applications.

The shoes were also on the catwalk at the V&A graduate show, proving that the technology is now going beyond just prototyping and into the realms of manufacturing real product solutions.
