Rapid
rapid prototyping is a fundamental tool for the development and production of high-fashion footwear, allowing, in some cases, a significant reduction in development time and costs*.
For the development phase, we are able to model and manufacture soft TPU prototypes with technical and physical characteristics similar to those of a product made from a mold.
In mass production, the use of 3D printed parts assembled on EVA or TPU soles is essential, both to compensate for the technical and technological limitations of production from a mechanical mold.
other case of application is for production in very limited runs, where the manufacture of a specific mold for an insert to be glued would be uneconomical.
* when compared to the cost-benefit of a traditional development (resin model + mold) sample where there is no security to proceed with industrialization.
