Nike: 3D Printing Technology Has Changed The Traditional Footwear Industry And Is Gradually Becoming Commercialized.

As NIKE announces a new partnership with HP and deepens cooperation in 3D printing business, 3D printing has once again attracted the attention of the industry to help shoe brands build competitive advantages.

The space of 3D printing in shoe industry includes speeding up the optimization iteration of product line, bringing practicality to the customized platform of shoes industry and integrating mobile health technology.

In this sense, the fierce competition in the shoe market will be on the rise again and again, with the power of 3D printing technology to play a new pattern. This time, 3D Valley and Gu you will take a look back at the 3D printing.

Towards commercialization

In the past few years, Nike began to promote the "socks" style of supporting and fitting.

。

Avant-garde's shape and indeed better performance attract many buyers for Nike.

The design of the stockings with the support and the matching degree as the appeal.

Technology has potential for development.

As Nike announces cooperation with HP, Nike will use the 3D printing solution provided by HP to speed up mass production of its sports equipment using 3D technology.

Perhaps soon after we bought Nike shoes in stores, we bought products containing 3D printing technology before we knew it.

New Balance: on the 3D printing shoes market at present, it is probably not possible that consumers should take out tens of thousands of dollars to buy a pair of nylon shoes.

However, 3D printing has indeed been commercialized and has potential to change the rules of the game.

It is also necessary to study the difference between the pressure on the sole and the pressure on the floor. What is the difference between the pressure on the sole and the pressure on the floor? What is the pressure change on the sole of the body? Is it possible to achieve the ideal pressure cushioning effect by increasing the density of sole tissue in the pressure tight sole? The Nervous Systems company from MIT has generated a lot of data to generate the algorithm software, thus helping New Balance realize the unique and completely customized shoes for the customer, not only for the foot type but also for the shoe owner's movement mode.

New Balance's 3D printing shoes have been sold abroad, and the 3D printing technology used in the bottom of their shoes is SLS selective laser sintering technology.

Integrated mobile health

SOLS's 3D printing shoes, called Adaptiv, are customizable and can be made of various materials. When the 3D shoe is printed, a motion sensor is implanted. The 3D area of the 3D area is installed in the ankle area. It can monitor the movement of the wearer and change the pressure distribution inside the shoe to support the feet, ankles and other parts. It can also inflate and deflate the support.

What is even more impressive is that the shoes are equipped with color sensing cameras and LED lights, which can change the colors according to the clothes of the wearer.

For athletes, this kind of shoes can help their physical activities better and improve their athletic performance through their excellent adaptability.

Among them, EOS is used to increase production equipment.
