Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a shoe last (1). The method according to the invention comprises at least the steps: controlling a layered manufacturing device using data, wherein the data was generated according to one of the preceding claims; and/or generating at least two components (6), (10) by means of a layered manufacturing method, each of the two components (6), (10) forming at least one portion (4), (8) of the external surface (2) of the shoe last (1), wherein: the first component (6) has at least a first opening (16), in particular a through-opening, for receiving a pressing and aligning element (18) and at least the second component (10) has a further opening (20), in particular a through-opening, for receiving the pressing and aligning element (18); the peripheries (U) of the first opening (16) and the further opening (20) each have a form that diverges from a form that is, at least in part, cylindrical; the first opening (16) has a first centre, the extension direction of which is inclined at a first angle to the longitudinal direction of the shoe last (2), and the second opening (20) has a second centre, the extension direction of which is inclined at a second angle to the longitudinal direction of the shoe last (1), the first angle and the second angle being identical; the first opening (16) is formed by a first wall section (17), and said first wall section (17) is surrounded, at least in part, by a wall section (4) defining the external surface (2) of the first component (6); the second opening (20) is formed by a second wall section (21), and said second wall section (21) is surrounded, at least in part, by a wall section (8) of the second component (10), defining the external surface (2).
