Simplifying a complicated footwear process has been a challenge for the Spanish company Simplicity Works, yet after years of development the new patented technology 3D Bonding is finally ready for the production.
One easily places the materials in a finished 3Dimensional mold. Then with a polymer injection - the pieces Bond together creating a finished product. It’s as simple as that.
Shoemaking is considered a traditional handicraft profession. Did you know that more than 80 operations are required for the construction of just one pair of shoes?
Now consider the ability to eliminate those operations and construct a shoe in a few simple steps.
3D Bonding eliminates most of the manual work required for the construction of the shoe because all the pieces of footwear are joined simultaneously. Not one by one as the traditional sewing (sequential) process requires.
It is a simultaneous action in which one injection bonds all the pieces of the product in a few seconds.
The 3DBonding process requires a complex analysis of a set of canals, including simulations and a deep knowledge of the polymer behaviour to transform a design into a commercial product.
Our knowledge of the fluid mechanics for multi-micro channels made the impossible possible. Using low pressure and progressive viscosity during injection; combined with the chemistry of bonding layers led to the creation of high quality seams never seen before. 3D Bonding is a value-added technology. 3D Bonding synergizes the 4.0 projects using technologies such as co-working robots, 3D printing, artificial intelligence and big data with the intention of a more efficient system never used in the footwear and other industries.
3D Bonding bonds the leather, fabric or rubber pieces together without the need for manually joining them together.
That disrupts a lot of work, saves a lot of time and can change the production principles worldwide (footwear, furniture, clothing and the automobile industries).
