Abstract


Parameterized single-cell lattice structures were developed to enable localized elasticity control in 3D?printed shoe midsoles, addressing region-specific plantar pressure requirements for diabetic foot syndrome. Compression tests showed that geometric parameterization allows a wide, continuous range of mechanical properties, which can be mathematically interpolated.
