Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to use a 3D printer to fabricate, in as short a time as possible, a last that can be used when manufacturing a shoe. The surface shape of the last is determined on the basis of three-dimensional data obtained by measuring the three-dimensional shape of a foot, an outer section having a hollow space therein is shaped using a 3D printer in such a way that the shape of the outer surface of the outer section matches the determined surface shape, when shaping of the outer section is complete, or when the outer section has been partly shaped, the inside thereof is filled with uncured filler. A last including the outer section and the cured filler in contact with the inner surface of the outer section is fabricated in this way.

Abstract: Provided is an insole design system that can determine design parameters in accordance with set rules and can explain the design parameters in an easy-to-understand manner. The present invention is provided with: a foot dimensions input unit (52) that receives input of the dimensions of the outer shape of a foot; a design parameter input unit (54) that, with respect to the shape of a specific portion of the surface of an insole, receives the input of design parameters determined with the position of a foot bone as a baseline; a bone position estimation unit (56) that, from the dimensions received by the foot dimensions input unit (52), estimates the position of the bone that is the baseline of the design parameters; and a data calculation unit (58) that calculates data for fabricating the shape of the surface of the insole from the design parameters received by the design parameter input unit (54) and the position of the bone estimated by the bone position estimation unit (56).

Abstract: Provided is a shoe selection support system in which it is possible to utilize information from other people while considering individual differences and in which it is possible to easily select suitable shoes.
