Popcorn Shoe Molds
Weight: 7.20 kg
Machine: FS350M-4
Layer Thickness: 40 μm + 80 μm
Printing Time: 23.5 hours/pair
A single popcorn shoe mold contains up to 16,000 vent holes, with hole diameters as small as 0.1 mm. This achieves excellent breathability while preventing structural clogging, ensuring lightweight performance and high elasticity of the final shoe product.
EVA Shoe Molds
Weight: 7.3 kg
Machine: FS350M-4
Layer Thickness: 30 μm + 60 μm
Printing Time: 45.2 hours/pair
In traditional EVA foam shoe mold production, hot pressing and cooling are typically required, and production efficiency is often limited by cooling time. 3D-printed EVA molds with conformal cooling channels integrate optimized internal water channels that closely follow the mold surface, significantly improving heat transfer. This increases production efficiency by nearly 45%, achieving both quality improvement and productivity gains.
