Modern trends in the creation of intellectual property objects based on the use of computer mathematical modeling methods in light industry are considered. The results of research into the creation of new technologies for injection molding of shoe parts from polymer materials are presented. A method for manufacturing multi-colored soles by simultaneously injecting different polymer materials into a mold is proposed. A computer mathematical model of the flow of the melt of a polymer material in a mold is developed, which allows determining its design parameters for obtaining soles with specified properties. The process of tightening the upper of shoes with increased dimensional stability from leather raw materials that have undergone special treatment using an electroactivated medium and enzymes is studied. A technology for manufacturing comfortable shoes on an individual order is proposed, which includes the processes of 3D scanning of a human foot and 3D printing of overlays on the surface of the insole to take into account the anatomical features of the customer. An experimental setup has been developed to determine the pressure of the inner surface of the shoe on a person’s foot, which consists of a personal computer and an Arduino microcontroller with force sensors.The introduction of computer technologies for conducting theoretical scientific research in the footwear industry opens up opportunities for mathematical modeling of complex technological processes and predicting the operational properties of manufactured products. The production of designer shoes is accompanied by the creation of parts of complex geometric shape, the use of materials that are unconventional for footwear production. The use of innovative computer technologies in footwear production has become an impetus for the development and implementation of creative and patentable technological, engineering and design solutions.
