Lonati, HP and Decathlon shoehorn innovation.
Together they offer a new sustainable approach to sports shoe manufacturing destined to reshape the industry. Traditionally, footwear requires numerous parts, adhesive materials and a lot of manpower; with 3D printing and Lonati machines, uppers can be produced with single- or double-layer fabric, resulting in an integrated upper that offers unparalleled comfort, light weight, performance and quality.
By integrating advanced materials and technologies, Lonati, Decathlon and HP are revolutionizing the industry, and not only with new designs, this partnership aims to share the benefits of 3D printing and digital knitting at the industrial level, emphasizing four points:
Customization
The shoe is highly customizable according to preferences and needs.
Local manufacturing
With 3D printing you can produce on site, reducing transportation emissions and supporting local economies.
Production flexibility
To optimize inventory, produce on demand and without waste
Circularity and repairability
With glueless assembly, the shoe can be repaired without being thrown away, the cushion and upper can be separated for targeted repairs, with increased durability and reduced waste, and the TPU increases its recyclability and lifecycle
