The impact of digital technology on footwear design and manufacturing

Compare the advantages of digital technology over traditional footwear design and manufacturing and analyze the impact it has on footwear design and processes. The use of computer-aided design can reduce the error rate in the shoe product design process and improve reproducibility and accuracy; virtual prototype technology, replacing the physical prototype of the product, and advanced simulation technology shortens the production cycle; 3D scanning technology is used in foot data collection, thus making the shoe last data more accurate and making it more capable of meeting the "human-machine "Additive manufacturing technology is used in the model making of shoes to improve the accuracy of the mold and make up for the shortage of traditional shoe making methods. Try through the digital technology can change the design and manufacturing method of footwear industry, and then improve the design and manufacturing level of footwear industry. It is expected to provide new ideas for the transformation of China’s footwear industry and footwear design and manufacturing, and to provide a methodological and theoretical basis for the subsequent research on footwear design under digital technology.
