A project developed to customer specifications…
We have put forward the solution of creating a newly built mold, to obtain a composite tip of our type called ULTRA. The customer therefore made a wooden shape of how the new interior of the shoe should be, we then digitized the model, performed a 3D prototype with three-dimensional printing technology, then sent it to the customer for an assembly test and verifies that the dimensions were those desired.
This operation, in addition to instilling us with well-deserved pride, has allowed us once again to highlight our characteristics of flexibility and superiority of the raw materials used. In fact, until then, no one had ever been able to make a toe cap that had not been made of steel for that particular type of use of footwear.
A customer needed an exceptionally large and capacious tip, but he wanted to make it in a lightweight material, given the weight resulting from the exaggerated size. Moreover, if such footwear was used in Arctic areas, it would have been better to have had a material that was as insulating as possible from the cold. Finally, given the use of a vulcanized rubber sole, it had to have at the same time a perfect adhesion and withstand an injection temperature of up to 300 ° C.
We have put forward the solution of creating a newly built mold, to obtain a composite tip of our type called ULTRA. The customer therefore made a shape of how the new tip should be, we then scanned the model, performed a 3D prototype with three-dimensional printing technology, then we sent it to the customer for an assembly test and verifies that the dimensions were those desired.
After confirming the prototype, we made the steel mold for the production of the tips. Subsequently, we carried out and carried out all the regulatory tests required for the type of non-metallic tips referring to EN12568s, and given the complete passing of these tests, we decided the very first delivery to the end customer, who enthusiastically proceeded to include it in his new project.
