Many Additive footwear platforms promise a level of customization beyond traditional footwear manufacturing processes, but how custom is it really? This presentation will explore a variety of strategies for the integration of various custom data into bespoke additive-ready algorithms in footwear design. The ability to create force-responsive structures through various types of micro lattice to tune flexibility, gradient behavior, anisotropy all within the confines of additive manufacturability parameters. Approaches include multi-agent algorithms with intelligent emergent behavior, simulation-driven anisotropic stochastic lattice structures, and body-responsive data mapping for truly one-of-one additive footwear creations.
