Shoe development requires a great deal of expertise, experience and attention to detail – you can count on us for all of that!

Whether it's a revolutionary design, a previously neglected target group or the solution to an everyday problem – the first step towards your own shoe collection is often the hardest. That's where we come in:

• From sketch to prototype: we help to bring your ideas to life.
• Material selection: Which fabrics and technologies suit your concept?
• Development for series production: From initial design to production – we accompany you on the road to success.

Let's work together to make your vision a reality.

The International Shoe Competence Centre (ISC) is at your side as a reliable partner in each of these phases.

Concept development and collection design

• Design & trend research
• Technical drawings
• Renderings
• Support in selecting materials and technologies

Upper development

• Creation & digitisation of the basic model
• Detailing of the templates (pattern design)
• Grading

Sole development

• 2D renderings
• 3D modelling with Rhino
• Maquettes

3D technology

• 3D printing of outsoles and applications as rapid prototypes
• 3D scanning for digitisation of lasts and components

We pay particular attention to develop your attractive design with a focus on practical feasibility and the respective market requirements. The correct choice of materials and construction methods are crucial for your product to optimally combine durability, comfort and performance. Throughout the whole process sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production methods are particularly emphasised by us. Due to our laboratories, we can test the properties of materials used through physical and chemical analyses This means you are always on the safe side with us!

Our in-house manufacturing facility allows us to be agile. We produce prototypes ourselves to identify challenges directly thus finding the best practice approach for series production quickly. For an uneventful implementation we provide you with contact information within the footwear industry.

Did you know: We work with Rhino 3D, Jevero and Procam: Dimensions. If you would like to learn more about this, look at our seminar schedule!
