• b) placing the at least one laminar component on a conveyor belt, wherein the conveyor belt conveys the at least one laminar component to a first roll;
• c) providing a three-dimensional object, wherein the three-dimensional object is a shoe last;
• d) moving the shoe last using a robot arm, wherein the moving comprises positioning and orienting the shoe last in a first position and orientation relative to the laminar component conveyed by the first roll;
• and
• e) after the moving of the shoe last to the first position and orientation using the robot arm, placing the at least one laminar component onto the shoe last using the first roll, wherein placing the at least one laminar component onto the shoe last further comprises moving the robot arm such that the shoe last is simultaneously moved relative to rotating of the first roll.
