SATRA Provides 3D Molding Technology For Footwear Industry

Stratasys company uses a technology called "deposition molding", the whole process is to melt a thick plastic rope in the nozzle, liquid layer, layer by layer of plastic fiber molding. Some systems use powder particles as printing medium. The most commonly used is gypsum powder, powder particles are sprayed on the mold tray to form a very thin powder layer, then solidified by the liquid adhesive ejected from the nozzle, or by laser sintering, casting into the specified shape.

　　 SATRA The leather and footwear products testing team is currently providing the 3D printer service produced by West Tassi (Stratasys) to customers. This printer uses molten plastic molding to create templates and functional prototypes, and can also effectively increase. shoes Skid resistance.

At present, stask has already obtained the patent of the technology and widely used in the production of 3D printing molten plastic molding method. SATRA person in charge Tom Bias (Tom Bayes) said, "we now have the technology of 3D scanning and modeling, and the 3D printer has achieved the perfect combination of the two.

This technology will provide more value-added services to SATRA members and consumers, including rapid prototyping technology. At the same time, this technology will be applied in the production of some parts of the British made tester.

The 3D printer's printable area is 203 mm long, 203 mm wide, and 152 mm high. And for individual large models or some small models, the printer can be flexibly adjusted to the ratio suitable for printing. This printer can print the design concept of hollow structure model, so that it saves printing materials. Nowadays, there are various kinds of media that can be used for printing.

From a wide range of plastics to metals, ceramics and rubber materials. Using Stratasys to create a series of 3D printers can print their own design prototypes, reduce production time, and improve product quality.

The traditional footwear industry also needs a lot of 3D printing products, because 3D printing is much better than traditional manufacturing in terms of cost, speed and accuracy. 3D printing technology itself is very suitable for mass production, so the use of 3D technology in manufacturing industry can bring many benefits, even quality control is no longer a problem.
