FootwearCAD 10.0

FootwearCAD is a specialized CAD platform for designing and engineering footwear, guiding you from concept sketches to production-ready patterns. It combines 3D modeling with precise 2D pattern development, so you can build accurate lasts and uppers, flatten surfaces cleanly, and prepare efficient cutting markers in a workflow tailored specifically to shoes and boots.

Key capabilities

• 3D to 2D workflow: Create or import lasts, model uppers and components, then flatten surfaces into accurate, sewable patterns.
• Pattern engineering: Add seam allowances, notches, perforations, stitch lines, and reinforcements; apply rules for consistent construction.
• Size grading: Grade patterns across full size runs with parametric controls and style-specific grading rules.
• Nesting and marker making: Optimize layout by size and material grain, reducing waste and improving cutting efficiency.
• Libraries and costing: Manage materials, components, and textures; auto-generate bills of materials and preliminary cost estimates.
• Manufacturing outputs: Export industry-standard formats (e.g., DXF/AAMA, OBJ, STL) with drilling, labeling, and cutting data for CNC, laser, and 3D printing workflows.
• Visualization and checks: Preview realistic materials and stitching; get fit and overlap warnings before sampling.
• Collaboration and control: Track versions, add comments, and produce tech packs with annotated patterns and assembly notes.
• Automation and templates: Use macros, style templates, and rules to speed up recurring tasks and standardize best practices.

Who it’s for

• Footwear designers, pattern engineers, sample rooms, factories, and design programs seeking greater accuracy, faster iterations, and better material utilization.

Benefits

• Fewer physical samples, shorter development cycles, consistent grading and fit, and a smoother path from design to production.
