Gigantic Shoe 3D Printing Accelerates Research And Development

A shoe making enterprise, how to win the trust of foreign trade customers? In the big group of foreign trade shoes in our city, the new shoemaking style brought to foreign customers, the latest technology such as 3D printing, can be used in 3 to 7 days to take out the soles, the heels and the shoes to match the real objects, and quickly put into production in accordance with the requirements of the customers, in order to win the market opportunity.

Before the new technology is applied, it will take thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars per hour to open the sole sole, and it will take 10 days on average.

Pan Jianzhong, a giant General Manager, said that the first application of new technology has greatly improved the speed of research and development of giant one, and won customers' orders.

Yan Yanwen, director of the Development Department of 3D, who is responsible for the development of 3D, said: "first, we will scan the design of the upper vans into the computer through the 3D scanner, and then build a 3D data soles model through the development software.

These data were then pmitted to the 3D printer, and the rest was automatically completed by the 3D printer.

Usually two or three hours to one day, you can print the soles and heels.

It is reported that before the introduction of 3D printers, giant one introduced an advanced 3D shoe last scanner from Portugal in 2013 to implement digital automation of shoe design.

The system has powerful design function, which can realize any type of sample design, shoe color matching, different shoe last and styles can be moved.

Now the imported 3D printers cooperate with 3D shoe last scanners, so that shoe development can be completed in the computer, greatly improving the development efficiency.

According to the traditional research and development mode, a pair of new shoes must undergo design and die opening processes before production. In the past, the manufacturing process of shoe soles should be one week at the fastest time. If the actual models do not work well, they must be redesigned, and each modification will take two or three days.

The cost of opening a mold at a time is often several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan.

A good design is the beginning of success, but as the speed of product innovation continues to accelerate, the product development cycle is constantly compressed, so the use of cutting-edge technology helps mold development is imperative.

3D printing technology does not require any mold or mechanical processing, the development process is more intuitive and efficient, print sole,

It only takes two or three hours.

It is of great significance to the development of shoemaking industry. The most prominent performance is that the sample development time is greatly shortened, and the accuracy of samples is improved.

Yan Yanwen said: "the mold clamping rate of soles and vamp developed by 3D technology can reach almost 100%."

3D printing is a special material accumulation process. The utilization rate of raw materials is 100%. It simply needs to operate the computer. There is no need for other manual assistance in the production process. It also shows obvious advantages in saving labor costs.

According to introduction,

The newly introduced 3D printer uses stereo photochemical technology to obtain solid samples by laser photopolymerization of liquid materials.

The 3D printer has high yield, the appearance of the sample is smooth and smooth, and the pattern and sawtooth structure are of high precision.

"For 3D printers, as long as the computer can design the shape, it can be completed.

This 3D printer is powerful and can print the complete design product and its internal details. "

Yan Yanwen said.

Yan Yanwen also said that although the advantages of 3D printers are clear at a glance, the cost of polymer composites for 3D printing has remained high.

To this end, giant one also introduced the carving machine, combined with the self-developed silicone rapid prototyping technology, and applied it to the R & D design of products in a comprehensive way, and applied the technology to the extreme.
