The goal of this project was to create a 3D printed personalized shoe for track races, the shoe would have two different spike plates which could be interchanged depending on the distance of the race. 

The shoe was 3D modeled in Rhino based on a 3D scan of my foot from the Microsoft Kinect, it was 3D printed using black rubber and white ABS on the flashforge dual head 3D printer. 

I hope to continue working on this project, my goals for the future are to create a way for a user to upload a scan of their foot, and have a personalized shoe created around based on the scan. Ideally, the majority of this work could be done by the computer, and a human would only have to do final polishing work.
