DEVELOPMENT OF A BOOT-TREE MOLD FOR MANUFACTURING RIDING BOOTS

The production of such footwear as riding boots requires additional equipment like a special mold for the formation bootlegs, which are made using intermediate frame parts to ensure rigidity and preserving shape. is stylized shape leg from its foot knee. lower part corresponding shoe last designed based on parameters average foot, taking into account requirements biomechanics, physiology, aesthetic features style. upper repeats shin has specifi c asymmetrical shape, ensures stylish perfect form boot. To obtain initial data designing mold, there were performed anthropometric measurements shins young women whose feet sizes correspond ones in selected sample. Designing was carried out basis Crispin LastMaker software complex method reverse engineering. general PowerShape environment by means surface, solid, hybrid modeling. This type must be with several width-girth parameters, possibility make diff erent designs provided. Therefore, order e ff ectively use molding (a boot-tree), work, proposed transforming allows making widths shapes toe due struc ture consisting four changing relative position individual elements it possible achieve multipurpose usage. Objective. Development an improved design, boot-tree 3d scan modern CAD software.Topicality work need equip advanced lasts ergonomics fashionable design. Novelty. structure developed combination direct modeling achieving ideal unique 3D combining ergonomic beautiful Such design available digital data.
