Abstract: The present invention provides a method (200) of modifying a shoe-last, comprising: acquiring (201) current digital data representing a foot shape; providing (202) reference digital data representing a shoe-last shape to be modified; comparing (203) the current digital data with the reference digital data to design patch shapes and patch positions; providing a shoe-last corresponding to the reference digital data; producing (204) patch elements corresponding to the patch shapes; and applying (204) the patch elements on the shoe-last in accordance with the patch positions obtaining a modified shoe-last. The production and the application of the patch elements on the shoe-last are performed by employing an additive manufacturing technique.

Abstract: It is described a system (100) comprising: at least one processor (1); a user interface (2) associated with a user (6) and cooperating with said at least one processor (1) and a tool module (4) defining instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to: select by means of the user interface design features of a first item to configure said first item; store in a database selection information associated with the selections of the design features made by the user; analyze the stored selection information to learn style preferences associated with the user; provide recommendations depending on said style preferences and relating to items to be configured by the user, produce a first item configuration pattern based on said recommendations; propose the first item configuration pattern to the user to perform a style and design matching.

Abstract: A system is provided that comprises least one processor, a user interface associated with a user and cooperating with the at least one processor, and a tool module defining instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to select by means of the user interface, manufacturing features of a first item to configure said first item, store in a database selection information associated with the selections of the manufacturing features made by the user via the user interface, analyze the stored selection information to learn style preferences associated with the user, and provide recommendations depending on the style preferences and relating to items to be configured by the user.

Abstract: A telematic system for configuring an article may include a displaying device (2) such to take a first displaying mode (PH2) wherein it shows first constructive characteristics of the article and a second displaying mode (PH3) wherein it shows second constructive characteristics of the article, selectable by the user. The system may also include an interface device (1) such to take a first operative mode (PH2) enabling to select the first constructive characteristics and a second operative mode (PH3) enabling to select the second constructive characteristics, a filing and processing system (3) communicating with the devices (1, 2) for commanding them to switch from the respective first modes to the respective second modes upon a selection by the user of at least one characteristic belonging to the first constructive characteristics.
