1. A method of operating a computing device to provide a customized last, the method comprising:
using a three-dimensional (3D) modeling application for generating and manipulating 3D model data and for displaying the 3D model data on a screen, obtaining a scan of a foot from an image acquisition device communicatively coupled to the computing device and creating a 3D model of the foot;
obtaining a 3D model of the customized last based on the 3D model of the foot using the 3D modeling application;
creating metadata using the 3D modeling application and associating the metadata with the 3D model data;
generating a production specification for the customized last based on the 3D model of the customized last and the metadata; and
storing the production specification in non-transitory memory or sending the production specification over a network;
wherein obtaining the 3D model of the customized last is performed by:
selecting a base last;
obtaining a 3D model of the base last;
comparing the 3D model of the base last and the 3D model of the foot to determine at least one last attachment feature;
generating the 3D model of the customized last based on the at least one last attachment feature and the 3D model of the base last.
