New 3D-printed elastomer makes it mark with adidas
17/06/2022
California-based 3D printing technology company Carbon has expanded its elastomer portfolio with a new product, EPU 44, which has already attracted the attention of sports group adidas.
On June 14, Carbon announced that adidas was already using EPU 44 in midsoles for athletic shoes.
The technology provider described EPU 44 as a resilient elastomer that is stiff, durable, and flexible. It “enables lighter lattices”, Carbon said, and prints more quickly than earlier products, such as the company’s EPU 41. It contains 40% bio-based materials.
Adidas has put EPU 44 into its 4DFWD and 4DFWD Pulse midsoles.
