摘要:
A method of minimizing the total area of a sheet material used to manufacture a customized article of footwear, comprises the steps of: dividing a three-dimensional footwear representation into a first two two-dimensional portion and a second two-dimensional portion; optimizing a layout of the two-dimensional portions; and applying the optimized layout of the first two-dimensional portion and the second two-dimensional portion to a sheet material.
摘要:
A frame for use in manufacturing, the frame comprising: a first frame comprising: (1) a first plurality of magnetic elements secured to the first frame; (2) a first plurality of pins secured to the first frame, wherein the first plurality of pins are positioned around the first frame for securing a material extending across a center area of the first frame; (3) a first aperture extending through the first frame; a second frame configured to coextensively mate with the first frame, the second frame comprising: (1) a second plurality of magnetic elements secured to the second frame, wherein the first plurality of magnets and the second plurality of magnets are cooperatively positioned to magnetically attract the first frame and the second frame in the coextensively mated configuration; (2) a solid portion of the second frame configured to align with the first aperture of the first frame when in the coextensively mated configuration with the second frame; and an alignment tab extending from the frame when the second frame is coextensively mated with the first frame.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a sports article, in particular a sport shoe, comprising the steps: (a.) providing at least one laminar component; (b.) providing at least one three-dimensional object; (c.) placing the component onto the object by means of a first roll while simultaneously moving the object relative to the roll.
摘要:
A system (100) for simultaneously generating a digital bite line and a visible bite line for use in assembling a shoe (110). The system (100) includes: a turntable (160) that receives a shoe sole assembly (114) and rotates at a known rate; a press (130) that applies a predetermined pressure to a lasted shoe upper (112) to engage the lasted shoe upper (112) with a shoe sole assembly (114) retained upon the turntable (160), the press (130) operable to apply the predetermined pressure to the lasted upper (112) while the shoe sole assembly (114) and lasted upper (112) are rotated, and a stylus assembly (150) comprising a marking tip (201) that contacts the shoe upper (112) at a junction line (116) between the lasted shoe upper (112) and the shoe sole assembly (114) and a digital bite line creation unit that communicates measurements of the location of the stylus assembly (150) to a computing device (105) to generate a digital bite line representative of the measurements made of the location of the stylus assembly (150).
