Precision in sole molds changes everything – from product quality to manufacturing efficiency. Yet traditional methods are riddled with inaccuracies, time delays, and high costs. Framas chose not to settle for those limitations.
Partnering with 3D Smart Solutions, Framas adopted the OptimScan-3M 3D scanner to digitize sole molds with micron-level precision. Going a step further, the Formlabs Form 3L 3D printer was integrated into their workflow to enable rapid prototyping, immediate design validation, and fast iteration. Faster turnaround – zero deviation – superior performance.
This is more than just a solution – it’s a breakthrough. A transformation that empowers Framas to elevate its manufacturing process, reduce production costs, and lead the footwear industry with innovation.
Challenges Faced by 3DS
Framas needed more than a standard manufacturing workflow. They demanded speed, absolute precision, and uncompromising optimization. This wasn’t just a project – it was a challenge that required a revolution in sole mold manufacturing:
- Errors must be minimal: Sole molds must be accurate down to the micron. Any deviation can disrupt the entire production line.
- Speed is critical: Designing, testing, and producing must be accelerated without compromising quality. Every delay means wasted time and cost.
- Seamless technology integration: It wasn’t enough to introduce new technologies – 3D Smart Solutions had to ensure that 3D scanning and printing systems would integrate smoothly into Framas’s existing workflows without causing disruption.
These challenges demanded a solution that was not only powerful, but truly game-changing. And 3D Smart Solutions was ready to deliver.
A Breakthrough Solution by 3D Smart Solutions
3D Smart Solutions deployed the OptimScan-3M 3D scanner to digitize sole molds with micron-level accuracy. All scanned data was directly compared to the original CAD model to ensure virtually zero deviation before moving into production.
- Accelerated workflow – faster time to market: by integrating 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies, Framas was able to rapidly prototype molds using the Formlabs Form 3L. This enabled instant testing, iteration, and validation – cutting mold development time from weeks to just days.
- Quality control from the start – risks eliminated early: 3D scanning data allowed Framas to detect even the slightest discrepancies from the design early in the process. This ensured timely corrections, preventing costly errors before mass production.
- Seamless integration – smooth technological transition: 3D Smart Solutions didn’t just supply the tools. They provided hands-on training and technical support, empowering the Framas team to quickly adopt and apply the new technologies without disrupting existing workflows.
