Any mesh creating program that can develop the new types of 3d printed soles for shoes which are compressible and in some sort of wire formation--- Picture attached
I would like to print the sort of mesh formation shown on the sole for this 3d printed Adidas shoe and have the proper filament to do so. I know there are some mesh mixing programs out there and was just wondering if there are any in which I could develop this compressible mesh formation and mold it to my liking. Also, how would I go about creating this compressible wire mesh formation.

It may not be the right application, but check out Inspire by SolidThinking: http://www.solidthinking.com/ProductOverview.aspx?item=Inspire%20Overview&category=Products
There is another program I've seen which does the type of structure you show, but I can never recall the name of it.
Meshlab does Voronoi structures, so it could be of some help:
