Form Follows Force: Data-Responsive Stochastic Algorithms For Additive Footwear

CDFAM Computational Design Symposium — Tokyo 2026
David Burpee · MorphXgen
Many Additive footwear platforms promise a level of customization beyond traditional footwear manufacturing processes, but how custom is it really? This presentation will explore a variety of strategies for the integration of various custom data into bespoke additive-ready algorithms in footwear design. The ability to create force-responsive structures through various types of micro lattice to tune flexibility, gradient behavior, anisotropy all within the confines of additive manufacturability parameters. Approaches…
