At the 2017 Hannover industrial exposition,

Announced cooperation with Adidas to improve the latter's SPEEDFACTORY, a new production system and future factory concept, using 3D printing and other modern technologies to produce high quality sporting goods.

According to the relevant information from the world clothing shoes and hat net, Adidas's application of cutting-edge technology in sports shoes has been a lot of surprises, such as 3D printing technology has had Futurecraft 3D midsole and Futurecraft Leather vamp before.

German sports brand

(Adidas) launched the world's first sneaker 3D print sports shoes, plans to start mass production next year, in order to cope with the fast changing fashion trend, to produce more customized products.

Adidas has already allowed customers to choose shoes' color and pattern when ordering online, but the 3D printing method can be more convenient and lower in order to produce fewer orders, limited amount of shoes, etc., and even customize the soles according to personal weight and footwork.

Adidas's rivals Nike (Nike), Andemar Armour (Under Armour) and new Balance (New Balance) have also tried to print 3D, but so far they have only made sample shoes, specially made shoes for sponsoring athletes and a small number of expensive shoes.

The reason is, traditional.

The speed is slower, the price is more expensive than the ordinary shoe making machine, and the quality is not as good as the products made by injection mold technology commonly used in the current Asian production.

The advantage of this material is that it can locate athletes' motion needs through the synthesis of single parts, such as shock, stability and comfort.

Moreover, this material is easier to produce on a large scale than ordinary 3D printing technology.

In order to achieve "fast, pparent and personalized production", Adidas found an unusual partner this time.

Interestingly, both companies are from Germany.

SIEMENS will provide professional knowledge to Adidas to promote the digitalization of Adidas SPEEDFACTORY.

Adidas said that with the help of SIEMENS, now they can simulate, test and optimize the whole production process.

This will shorten the time to market, provide greater flexibility for production, and "improve manufacturing quality and efficiency".

"Through the digital value chain, we will be able to implement new technological innovations faster, more effectively and pparently to make use of the existing resources, so as to respond more flexibly to the personalized needs of consumers," Adidas said.

It will be the first to open SPEEDFACTORIES in Germany and the United States.

There, Adidas will use 3D printing, computer knitting and robot cutting and other digital manufacturing technology to produce high quality modern products, which may include Adidas's new Futurecraft 4D 3D printing shoes.

The company says it will produce more than 100 thousand pairs of Futurecraft 4D by 2019.
