Milled injection moulding lasts

Today’s world of mechanisation, for example in automated production lines, requires lasts offering the utmost in precision.

The data are used to expedite full machining of the last, using milling devices to also cut the toe and heel sections. The Fagus® in-house CAD/CAM development department is responsible for converting many physical last models into CAD models.

These CAD master data are then used by designers and specialists as the basis for full 3D construction of the sole taking the upper design into account.

The digitised data are implemented into a 1:1 scale model by the mould maker.

The mould maker is spared the task of digitising the last and need no longer wait for the delivery of mould making lasts. Lasts created by this CAD process chain benefit from having: higher levels of precise shape correlation between the last and the injection mould, global access to data as well as enhanced use of automated production lines thanks to higher series production precision.

Moulds, designs and lasts are all constructed based on common master data records. The lasts are milled from high density materials, producing either partition T1 or partition T2 hinged lasts.

Some production techniques require the use of particularly high levels of robotised production. This last allows the production of low shoes in conjunction with boots.

Fagus® has the versatility and flexibility to meet your requirements.
