3Shape Last System™

Flexible, scalable, powerful

3Shape's 3D Last System^TM is a unique application directed at shoe last manufacturers and companies in the footwear design and manufacturing industry. Lasts are typically captured by a 3D scanner or originate from a CAD/CAM system and then brought into 3Shape's 3D Last System™ for processing.

3Shape's 3D last system is flexible and scalable, consisting of a number of complementary modules with specific functionalities. This structure allows the system to be configured to suit specific business needs.

Last System Last management module
Store and access lasts. The central interface to all the Last System functions. read more

Last System Import and preparation modules
Import last scans or CAD designs into the system. Prepare and optimize the 3D data for efficient and flexible processing. read more

Shell Manager Analysis modules
Perform measurements and compare against 3D reference models or against 2D company standard profiles. read more

Modification modules
Transform shapes, add height for insoles, merge 2 lasts to create a new last. read more

Seamless interfacing with other systems

Interface with third-party systems used by the footwear industry.
Import of 3D data from multiple sources, e.g. 3D scanners and CAD/CAM systems.
Export data to last and shoe design applications such as Dimensions!TM by Procam Systems GmbH, Easylast 3DTM from Newlast, or ShoemasterTM by CSM3D Ltd.
Export data to 3D printers for rapid prototyping and CNC machines for direct manufacturing of lasts.
Support for common file formats such as STL, VRML, DXF, EMF, ASC, IGES and other.

Advanced last processing and analysis

Automatic processing and optimization of point cloud and surfaced 3D data.
Fast and accurate analysis and measurement of 3D lasts for quality control.
Easy comparison of CAD last models and 3D scanned last models for quality control and shape analysis.
Seamless 3D last modeling operations, such as adding height for an insole, changing the toe and heel spring, or merging two distinct lasts.

Improved efficiency with easy access to 3D last models and related information.
The modular and scalable structure allows easy and flexible integration.
Compliments and works with other systems commonly used in the footwear industry.
Intuitive and consistent user interface ensures that a minimum of system training is required.
