【题目】The German company said 5,000 of the "Futurecraft 4D" shoes will be available at retail stores in the fall arid winter.As it is pressed for time,it still plans to start mass producing them next year and expects to have made more than 100,000 pairs by the end of 2018.The company would not disclose where the shoes will be manufactured.
Adidas cooperated with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon to create the shoe,which uses a new technology called digital light synthesis(合成).
Although the common 3D printed materials are often rigid(僵硬的),the new materials are flexible with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon's technology.
The technology works by using UV lasers to project a pattern for a midsole(鞋底夹层)liquid.It tums the liquid into a solid and the result is a flexible,but more durable midsole.
The technology could make the most of the time and money to produce the shoes in large quantities which may be loved by humans in the future.
"We can produce up to 100 times faster than 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes,"an Adidas spokesperson told CNNTech.
