ShoeMaker provides sophisticated yet intuitive design tools so you can produce realistic 3D digital models. This allows you to approve designs in less time and
reduces the need for expensive physical prototypes.

Your digital model contains all the data you need for manufacture such as margins and markers. Open your model in Engineer, our 2D pattern engineering
solution, and you can automatically flatten your design to further reduce development time.

With ShoeMaker’s built-in rendering software, you can use your laptop, tablet or smartphone to show realistic renders of your designs to prospective buyers.
This reduces the need for physical samples so you reduce costs and get to market faster.
