Abstract [eng] Invention of 3D scanning technology played an important role in new fields of application research and development regarding 3D data analysis. Fast-growing mass customization markets require new fields of research to improve manufacturing efficiency regarding unique products (those produced under special orders). Digital drawings and three-dimensional models provide most of the technical data that is needed for clear manufacturing, however, there are still some unused applications where 3D data can be applied to operate with complete efficiency. Innovative solutions are needed to develop an automatic system that will flatten the surface of the foot’s complex geometry. The aim of this work is to develop a fast and economically effective, expert knowledge based digital flattening system for 3D individual models of lasts. Comparative statistical analysis was performed in the thesis, aimed at evaluating last molds designed on the basis of different mathematic methods in comparison with the molds, received during individual footwear production process. The new digital last model surface segmentation method was designed which allows the compliance of digital parameterization molds up to 98 percent in comparison with the molds used in individual footwear production.
