Introduction of the workshop:

This workshop explores 3d printed footwear design using procedural tools, allowing students to create professional-level manufacturing-ready 3d models of the highest quality using Houdini and blender. Students will explore a wide range of manufacturing technologies, empowering them to unlock their full design potential.

What You’ll Learn?

How to design footwear for FDM and Resin
Manufacturing constraints for FDM and Resin footwear , as well as pros and cons for both 
Use Houdini to create an adjustable design 
Create textures that don’t cause overhangs 
Create lattices for specific materials 
Maintain constraints by translating textures into geometry

Methodology:

In this workshop, we will use Sidefx Houdini and Blender to procedurally create 3d printable shoes that maintain manufacturing constraints through parametric methods. Participants will first learn how to model a simple shoe for FDM procedurally, then how to generate and apply textures so that overhangs are not created.

Participants will submit their 3d models to the Zellerfeld Auto Check and fix common errors.

In this workshop, we will translate the first design into something suitable for Resin (SLA, DLP) or Powder (MJF, SLS) printing. We will learn how to generate lattices for the said shoe for specific shore hardnesses of material.

This workshop will teach participants how to use Houdini and Blender to design 3d printable shoes that may be printed using FDM, SLS, MJF, SLA, DLP, and other methods. The main focus will be FDM and SLA, but workflows will apply to most 3d printing technologies.

Participants will be encouraged to print out their creations on their own or with a manufacturer. However, this is not compulsory, and any manufacturing costs are not included in the price and depend on the manufacturer and design.
