Adidas company has been actively develloping the idea that soon all shoes will be created by individual measures, but without the use of manual labor - the device will form a three-dimensional printing elements personalized shoe.
Associates not only spotted the first prototypes of shoes Futurecraft 3D, the middle part of the device which is made of three-dimensional printing, but also got acquainted with the company's plans for production automation . Adidas is going in 2016 to launch in Germany, a new robotic shoe factory Speedfactory, the bulk of the processing operations that will be performed by robots. The number of state enterprises will not exceed 10 people.
Along the way, it is possible to see closer sneakers Futurecraft 3D with "printed" sole. As you can see, the cellular structure of the polymer has a sole made by three-dimensional printing. Directly contacting with the ground portion of the sole is manufactured separately and then glued to the midsole.
The upper part of the shoe is made of special fibers in the traditional way, it is glued to the bottom of one in the production stages .
As can be seen from the photo, the cellular structure of the sole is not uniform, and it suggests that the prototype is far from the quality of serial shoes. Related Products :
