What advantages does a foot 3D scanner have for the shoe industry?

Nowadays, the shoe market is highly competitive, and it is necessary to achieve more refined design, stronger individuality, and the ability to stand out among shoe brands.

And the foot 3D scanner—this result of technology—is like a key that has opened yet another new era of shoemaking.

It provides people with suggestions on whether their steps are suitable, covering multiple needs such as comfort, health condition, and personalization.

The foot 3D scanner can collect three-dimensional data of the foot, including foot length, foot width, foot height, and the arch.

Compared with the traditional foot mold method, it goes beyond the goal of avoiding human error and discomfort, and can understand each customer's needs more comprehensively.

In order to meet market demand, shoes are designed using standard sizes, but since everyone’s feet are different, this “one-size-fits-all” method is difficult to achieve true comfort.

And the 3D scanner breaks through the limitation of “one shoe for a thousand people” by means of data and personalization.

It can design shoes suitable for you based on each person’s foot shape. This makes the footwear industry move from “uniformity” to “custom tailoring,” and meets ergonomic design. While enhancing wearing comfort, it also effectively avoids foot pain and toe deformities caused by ill-fitting shoes.

In the traditional process, designers need to use manual measurement and templates for production, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily affected by human factors.

And 3D scanning technology can quickly and accurately obtain data and apply it directly to design software.

We have introduced a set of “digital design,” which makes the workflow simpler, avoids or reduces some steps such as trying on and modification, and greatly simplifies the entire process from design to production.

Especially for custom-made shoes based on foot measurements, applying a 3D scanner provides customers with more convenient and more accurate service. It not only meets individual “personalization” needs but also improves production efficiency.

Comfort and individuality seem to be mutually exclusive and contradictory.

In traditional shoe design, comfort often equals “ordinariness,” and individuality means giving up a certain degree of comfort.

And by using 3D scanning, this mindset is broken. Through 3D scanning of the foot, data collection, and intelligent analysis, we aim to design personalized products that meet individual needs and also offer comfort.
