Print a pair of shoe molds in just 7 hours? Micron Speedmap launches 8 Laser Special Shoe Mold 3D FF-M420 printer

3D Printer Templates

Seeing a 3D metal printer in a shoe factory is nothing new.

As we all know, the manufacturing process of traditional soe mussels is complicated and generally requires several links such as the manufacture of wooden molds, the turn of silicone molds, gypsum sintering, corrosive flower bites and metallic flow. Not only does it have a long cycle, but it also has high labor costs. Nowadays, while more and more factories have metal 3D printing equipment for mass production of models of general public shoes such as popcorn shoe mussels and EVA shoe mussels, the manufacture of shoe molds is accelerating at an effective and automated new stage.


In the 26th China (Jinjiang) International Shoe Industry Expo, Micron (Jiangsu) 3D Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to “Bikosu-Soku») Officially published its flagship equipment specially developed for 3D printing of shoe molds –FF-M420Special model for shoe molds. As we mentioned earlier, on this market, molds of 10 billion shoes, more and more companies have accelerated their disposal. Which will win at the end depends on the strength of the product.
So what is the difference between the FF-M420? What are its advantages? This is exactly what manufacturers of shoe mold really care. As a metallic 3D 3D printing equipment suitable for the shoe mold industry, the FF-M420 has been optimized overall in terms of size size, printing speed and structural stability, and has adapted parameters and process upgrades for different mold application scenarios, which really meets the real production needs.

01 Really fast:
8 Laser + LFPT Dynamic follow -up
Efficiency rises from 3 to 5 times

Unlike most 3D shoe metal 3D printers that are only equipped with four lasers, the FF-M420 is delivered with 8 standard lasers and is equipped with LFPT two-lane powder technology with original LFPT LFPT light. Thanks to the synchronous operation of the laser and the installation of powder, the printing time of the shoe molds is shortened from the traditional 24 hours to 7 hours, considerably improving the efficiency of the production.

It should be mentioned that in the past, most metallic 3D printers have adopted the traditional path of “padding powder, then printing”, while the LFPT (Optical monitoring powder technology) equipped with the FF-M420 has achieved the synchronization of laser printing and powder installation, really carrying out parallel operations. This technology shortens the time to install one powder of approximately 12 seconds, and the thousand cumulative layers can save 3.3 hours, and the overall efficiency of model treatment is increased by 50%.

In addition, the Slice and Path planning software from the company of the Fastfab company, with the support of its intelligent algorithm, can optimize and plan the entire real -time printing process, allowing the “physical limit” of 8 laser equipment to deeply integrate the “digital potential” of the software, considerably improving the effectiveness of printing and precision.

02 Intelligence:
From the stacking layer to intelligent growth
Zero Touch dynamic seamless splicing

With the increase in the maturity of 3D printing of shoe mold, it is difficult to form a competitive advantage by simply increasing the printing speed. The heart of future competition is to print quality and overall advantages. In response to this trend, FF-M420 launched the “Zero Touch Dynamic without seaming” splicing technology, allowing the manufacture of shoes to evolve from traditional stacking “layer” with “intelligent dynamic growth”.


This technology effectively reduces redundant scanning line segments thanks to a dynamic random arrangement of intelligent paths and improves the overall efficiency of operation. At the same time, a sinusoidal transition curve is automatically generated in the intersection area of ​​the path, which can eliminate the direction of the stage between the layers; Combined with the secondary fusion treatment of overlapping areas, higher bond resistance and a smoother printing surface are obtained.


In terms of precision performance, the FF-M420 is equipped with a high dynamic response laser, which combines dynamic planning of road roads, high-precision synchronization control and multi-galvanometer collaborative control technology, supports the molding at the micron and a minimum opening of 0.05 mm. It is particularly suitable for scenes such as unique texture which require extremely high details, guaranteeing consistency and printing controlling by lots.

03 without worry:
8 years of industry data accumulation
Systematic shoe mold printing solution

Micron Speedmap has been deeply engaged in the field of metallic 3D printing for many years, covering several application scenarios such as dentistry, industry, shoe molds and scientific research, and has accumulated a large amount of practical data and process experience. Based on this, FF-M420 is tailor-made for the shoe mold industry and has a library of integrated mature printing parameters to help companies quickly obtain high quality printing and considerably reduce testing and error costs.


The support software system also reflects the concept of “professional and easy to use”. Among them, the Fastlye sulling software supports the slices, hollows and printing in one click, and works stable at 7 × 24 hours a day, easily meeting the needs of production by lots and considerably reducing the costs; The Fastfab control software supports remote monitoring in real time, and the key parameters are clear at a glance, so that novices can control them quickly.


In terms of hardware configuration, the FF-M420 is delivered with a filter element of the plastic battle plate, which has an ultra-long lifespan of 30,000 hours and a three-step filter system, which not only saves the cost of replacing the filter replacement, but also effectively ensures air cleanliness and print quality. At the same time, the filtering element uses an antistatic coating of the nano-carbon tube, which can prevent static electricity from causing and improving the level of equipment safety.
In addition, the FF-M420 adopts an extremely compact mechanical structure design, with an imprint of 30% less than traditional equipment, and is more suitable for a variety of complex production scenarios. At the same time, the FF-M420 series supports exclusive after-sales mini-programs, offering an exclusive 7 × 24-hour customer service medium, really resolving customers.


Compared to the traditional manufacturing of shoe molds based on complex processes, long cycles and poor flexibility, metallic 3D printing gradually breaks the double bottlenecks of efficiency and precision. We believe that 3D printing of shoe molds will not only reshape the manufacturing model of shoe molds, but will also speed up the transformation of the whole industry to flexibility, intelligence and efficiency.
Micro Light Speed ​​is the promoter of this change.

Thanks to the “3D printing solution with shoe molds”, Chinese mold companies are empowered by software, processing and services and accelerating the large -scale application of 3D printing in the industry, by helping businesses to win the head in the new industrial upgrade cycle.
