Abstract: Systems, methods, logic, and devices may support shoe design through 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) shoe models. In some examples, a system may include a 2D shoe shell pattern engine configured to access a 2D shoe shell pattern, the 2D shoe shell pattern generated for shoe design. The system may also include a 2.5D shoe model engine configured to generate a 2.5D shoe model by placing shoe design elements provided by a user onto the 2D shoe shell pattern of the shoe, including by adding 2.5D layering data for each shoe design element placed on the 2D shoe shell pattern to form the 2.5D shoe model, and wrap the 2.5D shoe model into a 3D shoe model for construction of a physical shoe from the 3D shoe model.

Abstract: A system may include a 3D core design engine and a 3D core printing engine. The 3D core design engine may be configured to determine, in a CAD model, an under-core ply of a composite part and a core footprint on the under-core ply specified for an additive 3D core to be manufactured via additive manufacturing for insertion into the composite part, compute a bottom core surface of the additive 3D core from the under-core ply and core footprint, access core design parameters for the additive 3D core; and construct an additive 3D core design in the CAD model based on the computed bottom core surface and the core shape parameters. The 3D core printing engine may be configured to store the additive 3D core design to support subsequent manufacture of the additive 3D core via additive manufacturing.
