The FTWkit for Rhino is a collection of plug-ins that supports pattern engineering, production planning, concept and visualization of shoes, from design to production.

FTWkit is primarily designed for pattern engineers, footwear developers, and designers in the footwear industry.

Jevero and Botcha stands out for their ease of use, flexibility, and ability to support both basic and advanced workflows. They also offer a variety of customization options, including the ability to automate workflows and integrate the tool into your toolchain.

We are passionate about collaborating with academic institutions and design schools to share their passion for CAD pattern engineering. They aim to inspire and equip the next generation of designers and engineers with the necessary tools to excel in the field of footwear development.

Jevero and Botcha are used all around the world to produce tons of shoes. From the largest manufacturer in Asia to the small artisan in Italy.

Jevero offers a variety of tools and features that can help users work faster, smarter, and more efficiently. It allows for seamless collaboration with team members, leverages the power of Rhino’s 2D and 3D modeling capabilities, and accelerates time-to-market.

Jevero supports all the major file extensions on the market, including Crispin Engineer .shoe and .pat files.

Yes, Jevero is tightly integrated with Rhinoceros, which means you can share your models with anyone who uses the software, even if they don’t have the plugin installed.

Jevero Pattern is a plugin that enables shoe pattern design in Rhinoceros 7. It is a software tool that simplifies the process of designing shoe patterns in Rhinoceros 7.

The three main stages of shoe pattern engineering in Jevero are pattern design, part management, and model grading.

The Dependency Tree is a tool used in Jevero to help pattern engineers quickly manage and edit prototypes and models. It involves using baselines to control other entities in a parametric way.

Jevero has one of the most intuitive and fast grading systems out there. You can develop, edit, and manage every single size very quickly.

Botcha is very helpful for modelling uppers and creating UVs for your uppers, creating digital textures in the bottom unit and generate blueprint automatically.

Botcha has been designed with a particular eye for footwear, there are a number of tools that are geared towards footwear creation but the tools themselves do not discriminate if your are creating a shoe, a sofa or a bag.

Botcha tightly integrated into Rhino and mimic the workflows typical of the application, knowing Rhino is a great plus but we can support you in the learning process of the tool.

Botcha is available wherever Rhino is, at the moment this includes Windows and macOS.

Our users report that times for modeling an upper are cut down to 60% so if before something took up to a week, after the use of Botcha will take two days.

For someone that is well-versed in Rhino usage botcha takes anywhere between a day and a week for more complicated workflows.

Absolutely yes, Botcha offers native Rhino tools and work seamlessly with the object in the application, you can use other plugins and grasshopper extensions and components.
