Methods and apparatuses for designing custom footwear are disclosed. An apparatus for designing custom footwear may include a data collection system, a data processing system, and a manufacturing system, where the manufacturing system includes an additive manufacturing device. A method for designing custom footwear may comprise receiving user-specific data, generating a user model, identifying issues in the user model, determining corrective features, generating a custom footwear model, and manufacturing the custom footwear.

Methods and apparatuses for designing footwear

The present invention relates to a method of displaying pressures and forces on a part of the skeleton such as the feet which relate to movements of the human or animal body, especially movements of the lower skeleton, e.g. foot, ankle, knee or hip; as well as to a method of displaying these movements based on the measured pressures and forces on the feet. The present invention also includes apparatus for displaying these pressures and forces and/or movements and software for use in the apparatus. In particular eversion or inversion motion of the foot is displayed.

Method and apparatus for displaying 3D images of a part of the skeleton

A self-calibrating apparatus and a self-calibrating method for measuring the pressure distribution generated by a three-dimensional object, is described which includes a plurality of first non-linear force sensors arranged in an array; and a second force sensing device ( ) having a linear or linearisable output for measuring the total force applied to the first force sensors. The first sensors are dynamically calibrated based on the results of the comparison. The three-dimensional object may be a human foot and the apparatus and method amy be sued for fitting shoes or for determining irregularities or ailments of the human foot or leg.
