Performance Analysis Of Shoesmaster Software

2008/8/15 12:27:00 41782

ShoesMaster shoemaking software is a high performance footwear CAD system developed in the UK. It consists of two stages: grading, discharging, 3D shoe upper design, last design and bottom design.

It is one of the most popular CAD software in the world.

The software is developed independently by the underlying technology, and has strong development strength and technical background.

But the software has been promoting the market in China for several years, and it can not be investigated for its reasons, except for the extremely high price.

Later, it was mainly caused by technical immaturity.

Because the CAD system of footwear industry is very demanding on software, it is not very realistic to try to use a company's product strength to complete the entire shoe CAD system. Shoemaster strength can not get out of this strange circle.

For example, Shoemaster software has at least the following main disadvantages:

1) the three-dimensional design of the upper, the reality of three-dimensional virtual effect is not strong, complex surface effect can not be expressed, the overall effect is rigid, stiff.

For complex shoe like effects, such as craft shoes and sandals, leather shoes with complex decorations can not be expressed, and the practicability is not strong.

2) the design of the two or three dimensional interactive sample design part is not enough to grasp the core demand of the function of the curling function. It can only deal with some simple samples, and the automation program is not high enough, and the details are not handled properly, so it is difficult to deal with the complicated shoe pattern design process.

Such as high waist boots, wrinkled shoes and so on.

In shoemaking industry, if a set of expensive design system can not really engage in design, its value can be imagined.

3) the sole design function is too weak to be practical.

Because of the complexity of the sole surface, the software

The function of surface design is very high. It is difficult for ordinary software to achieve such high requirements. Shoemaster has a long way to go.

4) the design of shoe last part is relatively weak, which is far from the EasyLast in Italy.

The module can only finish the parametric design of the shoe last structure, and can not carve details.

5) the automatic cutting tool calculation part is also relatively ordinary, because Shoemaster does not produce the leather cutting machine and other hardware. It is not enough for hardware related software research and development. For example, the software does not provide specialized hardware control platform and is associated with all kinds of machines.

6) there is no corresponding 2-D simulation processing system, which can not meet the needs of low end users.

7) the design of the hierarchical system is not concise and complex, and it is difficult for domestic users to accept it.

As a whole, the software is only suitable for some design work of tourism shoes. The design work requires too much manual coordination, and the degree of automation is not ideal enough to be widely applied in China.
