ABSTRACT
Although additive manufacturing (i\M) has potential in producing personalised items, such as footwear, it is unknown how to best capture and measure the foot in this context nor the short and medium term impact of such footwear on discomfort and injury risks. Therefore, research is currently being conducted to evaluate the short and medium term use of personalised footwear in terms of discomfort and injury risk; to identify measurement techniques for specifying and evaluating such footwear; and to determine the measurements required to specify personalised footwear suitable for additive manufacturing.
