Vaughn Custom Sports Canada (Vaughn) would like to prototype a process to scan feet three dimensionally (3D) to improve their foot measurement and custom hockey skate production process. The Mohawk College Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC) has the 3D design and scanning, additive manufacturing (AM)/3D printing software and system expertise to investigate the full process from measurement to footreplica (last) production. Mohawk College and Vaughn will compare traditional measurements and lasts with 3D scanned files and 3D printed feet respectively. 3D scanning and printing has the potential to replicate foot nuances, such as a pronounced heel, which is difficult to capture with traditional measurements. 3D technologycan save time and help to create a better product and skating experience. According to the International IceHockey Federation, as of the 2018-2019 season, there were more than 1.7 million ice hockey playersworldwide, which is a market Vaughn will work to gain greater share. Vaughn has customers in the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which demonstrates the quality of its skates. GRAF skates are used by hockey players for years, and in some cases for decades, whichhighlights the quality, and the importance of producing a great skate fit for long-term comfort and performance with 3D technology.

Vaughn Custom Sports Canada（Vaughn）希望建立一个三维（3D）扫描足部的原型，以改善其足部测量和定制曲棍球鞋生产过程。莫霍克学院增材制造创新中心（AMIC）拥有3D设计和扫描，增材制造（AM）/3D打印软件和系统专业知识，可以研究从测量到footreplica（最后）生产的整个过程。莫霍克学院和沃恩将分别用3D扫描文件和3D打印脚来比较传统的测量和鞋楦。3D扫描和打印具有复制足部细微差别的潜力，例如明显的脚跟，这是传统测量难以捕捉的。3D技术可以节省时间，帮助创造更好的产品和滑冰体验。根据国际冰球联合会的数据，截至2018-2019赛季，全球有超过170万名冰球运动员，这是沃恩将努力获得更大份额的市场。沃恩在全国曲棍球联盟（NHL）和全国大学生体育协会（NCAA）都有客户，这证明了其冰鞋的质量。GRAF冰鞋被曲棍球运动员使用多年，在某些情况下甚至使用了几十年，这突出了质量，以及通过3D技术生产长期舒适和性能的冰鞋的重要性。
