Shoe last extension as an origin

This invention describes a system for precisely guiding the manufacturing of shoes. It uses a special attachment, called a last extension, that temporarily connects to the shoe last. This extension has a unique pattern that a sensor reads, allowing a computer to pinpoint an exact starting reference point on the shoe for various production steps. The system is specifically designed for making shoes.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced machine vision algorithms for real-time 3D mapping and pattern recognition became widely accessible. The software component for precise origin tracking and adjustment is now significantly more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom last extension, sensor, software logic, laser scanner.
