APPLICATION FOCUS / FOOTWEAR & LACING
From material requirements
to a viable filament.
Footwear and lacing projects can begin with diameter, flexibility, friction, abrasion resistance, color and processing conditions. HNC helps structure those requirements for a focused review of Shakespeare materials and customization capabilities. Application suitability depends on the selected material and test results.
- 01
Use environment
Construction, repeated flexing, moisture and temperature.
- 02
Target performance
Diameter, flexibility, friction, abrasion resistance and color.
- 03
Processing conditions
Assembly method, sample stage, expected volume and timing.
