The new version of the LastMaker software for last design has also been made easier to use, both for the creation of standard lasts and for the development of bespoke designs.
Improved creation and editing tools for cross sections have been added to allow more specific adjustment to the overall design.
Similarly, profile line editing has been enhanced to make it easier to modify the outline shape of the last. Templates are available for the toe, back-curve and bottom sections of the last, so that these sections can be incorporated into the design more quickly and easily.
Functionality has been added for comparing scanned foot data with an existing digital last, to help produce a custom-made pair of lasts. Control planes, based on standard foot measurements, have been included, making it simpler to adjust standard last shapes for a bespoke design.
Developments have also been made to the base 2D Engineer package. The main new functionality allows Edge Templates to be appended to a part boundary, allowing dependant margins, makers, stabs and notches to be added after the boundary has been created.
In addition, work has continued on many areas of 2D Engineer to make the software faster and easier to use.
