Software optimizes design of shoe soles
Plastics Engineering, Nov, 2005 by Hope Molinaro
A new software system simulates the injection molding of smartLite polymer materials from Huntsman Polyurethanes, allowing specialized molders to finalize their sole and mold designs before investing in tooling, trials, or machine modifications. Developed by Huntsman with the Institut for Plastics Processing (IKV) (Germany) and German software developer Simeon, the software is "powered" by Simcon's Cadmould program.
SmartLite materials are based on a combination of blowing technologies to achieve lightweight, aesthetically pleasing soles with high-performance characteristics. For more information, visit www.smartLite.biz.
