A New Era of Intelligent Manufacturing: Da Mao Niu Partners with Protolabs to Lead Shoe Mold 3D Printing Technology



In recent years, with the continuous development of disciplines such as materials science, software algorithms, and robotics, The application fields and production efficiency of 3D printing technology have been further improved. 3D printing technology has begun to be applied in large-scale production, high-precision manufacturing, multi-material manufacturing, and other areas, becoming an important development trend in the future manufacturing industry.

On December 2, 2024, after four months of in-depth understanding and continuous communication, we are pleased to announce: Jiangsu Damaoniu New Materials Co., Ltd. and Polymaker (Shenzhen) Additive Manufacturing Co., Ltd. have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly promote the effective application of 3D printing technology in the field of metal additive manufacturing for shoe molds!

Damaoniu holds a leading position in the ultra-high pressure ultra-low density physical foaming new materials industry in the Asia-Pacific region. The company owns dozens of domestic and international invention patents and has won widespread acclaim in the global market and strong endorsement from many domestic and foreign brands with its high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foaming technology and products.

Polymaker adheres to the corporate mission of "making manufacturing simpler and the world better," providing global customers with comprehensive additive technology solutions. Polymaker firmly believes that the level of mold manufacturing is not only an important indicator to measure the manufacturing level of an enterprise but also largely determines the quality, efficiency, and new product development capability of the enterprise's products. Intelligence, integration, and precision are the inevitable trends of future transformation in the mold industry.

3D printing technology breaks free from the forming limitations of traditional machining. Its functions such as conformal cooling, structural topology optimization, maintenance, and upgrade plugin supplementation can effectively improve cooling efficiency and uniformity, reduce product production costs and cycles, and are of great significance for improving mold production efficiency. Its breathable process and multi-material composite process can not only optimize the trapped air problem in plastic molds but also provide more imagination and design space for personalized customization in the footwear industry. Most importantly, the application of 3D printing technology effectively avoids environmental issues common in traditional shoemaking processes, such as noise pollution, wastewater and waste discharge pollution, and chemical reagent pollution, achieving truly green and environmentally friendly shoemaking.

In this signing cooperation, both parties agreed to leverage Damaoniu's rich experience in the physical foaming field of shoe midsoles and Polymaker's unique advantages in metal 3D printing equipment, processes, and material development to jointly carry out cooperation in the field of metal additive manufacturing for shoe molds, achieving complementary advantages, mutual benefits, mutual support, and common development.

We believe that this cooperation will further promote the large-scale production of Damaoniu, effectively improve its production flexibility, unleash production potential, and both parties can jointly explore more possibilities of 3D printing technology in shoe mold manufacturing, promoting the industry towards more efficient and innovative development.

We also look forward to the combination of Damaoniu's environmentally friendly foaming technology and Polymaker's metal additive manufacturing technology to practically implement the environmental protection and sustainability requirements of high-quality development of new productive forces, promoting the industry to continuously advance towards high-end, intelligent, and green development.
