Zellermesh Surfaces

Open Mesh or “ZellerMesh” is optional for new designs, however we HIGHLY recommend utilizing it within your designs. It creates a much softer, more comfortable interface for the foot.

You should upload the STLs with the surfaces that define the ZellerMesh regions. Find the requirements below.

Surfaces Requirements:

  • STL file size less or equal to 50 mb
  • Should not be watertight 
  • Tolerance: individual meshes parts have areas larger than 1 squared mm.
  • Is a copy of shoe surface region, defined by sharing the same shoe polygon faces. Should stop at collar (not share faces) 
  • Mesh should be above the texturemap reference surface (green surface above - download from templates)

FEEDBACK STLs

Autocheck exports the mesh faces from the zellermesh surfaces in 3 contexts:

  1. Mismatch with shoe faces:
    • right_zellermesh_mismatch_faces.stl
    • left_zellermesh_mismatch_faces.stl
  2.  Intersects collar surface:
    • right_zellermesh_overlap_collar_faces.stl
    • left_zellermesh_overlap_collar_faces.stl
  3.  Faces below reference surface:
    • right_zellermesh_below_midsole_faces_plane.stl
    • left_zellermesh_below_midsole_faces_plane.stl

 

ZELLERMESH AND COLLAR TUTORIAL

We created this tutorial video to help you understand how to prepare the files for the collar and open mesh regions of your shoe.
