Pattern Digitising For Footwear & Leather

Keeping One Step Ahead in Digitising Footwear Patterns
Whether they are mass-produced or custom made orthopaedic shoes, they have one thing in common: They comprise of a multitude of small intricate patterns that have fine curves, nothces and several internal features such as drill holes and internal lines which serve for functional and decorative purposes.
Precision
Due to the size of patterns and the nature of materials used in footwear and leather goods industries, precision is the primary criteria in the digitising process.
​
For this reason, iDigit’s General Dxf and SVG formats provides excellent curve smoothnes as it exports the patterns as lines and arcs instead of polylines.
Speed
Additional features such as serial naming, automatic pair creation and insertion of custom internal shapes such as zigzags speed of the digitising process in iDigit.
Accurate cutting
iDigit’s high definition vectorised elements such as splines, circles and arcs make it possible to create even sub-millimetric curves without compromising on smoothness.
​
Thanks to these features of iDigit, the patterns cut on a cutting machine, whether it’s a sole, lining or upper pattern come out with perfectly smooth contours.
​
In addition to the cut data, text labels and mark up lines are also included in the DXF exported from iDigit in customisable layers.
