Project recommended by:
Zapatos para ensamblar
Two prototypes designed and produced by the Fab-Products project at FabLab Barcelona (fablabbcn.org) whose design and production instructions can be released as open code with your support.
The two shoe models with their easy to assemble structure have been developed by Diego Bustamante, Sanjay Fernandes and Marcela Rozo, have been conceptualised as a process of open design and self-construction.
"Assemblable Shoes" is a project chosen from the Fab-Products 2011 call to develop products in FabLab Barcelona with the support of the (IAAC) Instituto de Arquitectura Avanzada de Cataluña and ICUB, Barcelona.
After a research and prototyping phase we want to finish development, produce a limited run and open up the final design through this campaign in Goteo.
You can support the project and get a pair of the first models manufactured in FabLab Barcelona.
At the same time, the initiative has international projection as once the design is opened anybody in the international network of FabLabs (fab.cba.mit.edu/about/labs/) will be able to make their own open source shoes.

Main features
Model #1: ready to assemble shoe of 5-6 pieces.Model #2: Shoe based on a block of milled wood, with leather.
Both models will have their corresponding model in 3D (3dm format) and pattern in PDF.
For those that want to acquire either of the pairs, they will be produced to measure in the FabLab Barcelona if you send us a scan of your sole (or by providing an exact size)
Why this is important
The main object of the project is to initiate the production of assemblable shoes, using the resources of the FabLab and assuring sustainable and responsible production. The development of the product meets with the following characteristics:- Starts from the concept of open design, use and modification can be freely shared.
- Achieve a design which is efficient in terms of materials, production time and use of FabLab resources.
- Use durable, easily acquired and environmentally sustainable materials.
- Innovation in the concept of the assemblable shoe through the development of product with quality design, with modular possibilities and which is easily modifiable.
Goals of the crowdfunding campaign
The main aim of the project after the ideation, design and prototyping phase (see zapatos.fablabbcn.org/) is to initiate a small scale production phase with a limited edition of 50 units.It also permits the making of the shoes by people interested in DIY, depending on access to machines or by acquiring the assemblable version.
At the same time this open source shoes campaign represents support for and an opportunity to inform more people about the area of self manufacturing and open design, from where it is possible through networks of production and personal manufacturing like the FabLab it is possible to research and progress in the creation of common goods and resources on a local, sustainable and open level.
