The outputs are supported with a contextual information template attached in a PDF format, and the chapter is annexed at the end. The template incorporates a section called ‘Output and Description’ which identifies and describes the submitted output for evaluation. The sections of the template that follow provide contextual information, such as research narrative, funding, dissemination, reception, which accompany the submitted output.
The primary research question was:
Could a deeper understanding of how our skin behaves as a material inform the design of 3D printed shoes?
The aim being:
1. to investigate if our own skin (human skin) can inspire the design of 3D printed footwear.
The research focused on structures for creating the best 3D printed lattices to support a foot, captured in 3D. The outcome combined parametric design and Additive Manufacturing to make
products for specific user groups, in small runs of production.
