Lucie Trejtnarová and Fillamentum create biodegradable 3D printed sandals

多媒体传播学院的研究生LucieTrejtnarová,Zlín的Tomas Bata University(UTB), Czech Republic, and materials manufacturerFillamentum已经开发了有机3D印刷鞋系列。

顾名思义,有机鞋系列是为了创建可持续的鞋类和配件而创建的。实验凉鞋线整合了来自TPU-basedFlexfill98A, Malai, also known as coconut leather, andpiñatex,一种由菠萝叶制成的天然织物。

“If I buy or make a product, it’s important to know the story behind it, how it can help somebody, and how it could disappear,” explained Trejtnarová.

“We are responsible for each of our steps. Shoes from the Organic collection are based on a simple principle: At the end of their life, you can divide both parts, the upper in a compost and the sole you can recycle, to use it again.”

Trejtnarová对该项目的灵感来自于印度南部的旅行。在生物材料设计工作室实习期间Malai Design & Materials,Trejtnarová被介绍给Malai的原材料,这将有助于形成有机鞋类品牌。

马莱是一种100%可生物降解的材料,已知具有柔性,耐用性和耐水性。从椰子中,它是完全自然的,具有与皮革相当的质地。此外,Piñatex是从菠萝叶纤维(一种农业废物)衍生而来的,被用作皮革的替代品。借助这些材料,Trejtnarová选择制造凉鞋以适合印度温暖和潮湿的条件。

然后,有机范围的一个早期概念从Trejtnarová关于给定主题“ 3D奢侈”的UTB论文中发展出来。Trejtnarová解释说:“我首先与3D模型制作和使用3D打印机联系,这对我来说是一个全新的挑战。”通过这种联系,她能够学习如何使用3D打印机,并在搅拌机。“我继续Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design在耶路撒冷与扎实的作品course,” Trejtnarová adds.

Trejtnarová寻求3D可打印的材料以支持鞋子设计中的天然织物,发现了Flexfill 98A和Flexfill 92a。

Filmentum的Flexfill提供了一系列具有高拉伸强度,磨损性能和耐磨性的柔性TPU丝。Flexfill98A and Flexfill 92A differ in elasticity with 98A being semi-flexible, however both are moisture sensitive. These materials are designed for dynamically stressed parts, sealings, and shoe insoles, making them a viable candidate for the Organic collection.

由于FlexFill 98A比92A难得难,因此被认为更适合外底原型。然后使用Ultimaker 3 3D打印机和Flexfill 98A粉末米色来生产该系列的最终外极。

The recyclability of Flexfill 98A was also an important factor for Trejtnarová. It’s processability allows it to be used again, deterring waste which aligns with the overall Organic concept. “Even阿迪达斯Trejtnarová补充说,座右铭是“重新制作”之后,计划从热塑性聚氨酯中生产一系列鞋子。

With help from the Fillamentum, Trejtnarová developed the final design of the outsole by slicing a model in two parts. A protective base was then stitched on to support the outsole.

Trejtnarová was pleasantly surprised at the materials capabilities of Flexfill 98A as it was used in both the prototyping and final production phase of the outsoles.
