The specification of personalised footwear for additive manufacturing

In this work, Dr Andre Salles explores an innovative process to deliver running shoes to the masses. Based on the literature and his own research, the author describes a cutting edge method that utilises 3-D foot scanning, anthropometric measurements, CAD design and additive manufacturing to fabricate footwear that is tuned to the individual foot shape and requirements. This book is an important tool for professionals interested in knowing more about footwear, insoles, reverse engineering, additive manufacturing, foot anthropometry and biomechanics.
