Adidas 4D
Born out of a passion for helping athletes make a difference, adidas partnered with California-based Carbon to develop 4D technology - the first midsole made from light and oxygen. Unlike common sole units, the 4D sole unit is not injection molded but made using Digital Light Synthesis. This uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to develop durable high-performance products. This significantly simplifies the product development process, making the costly production of prototypes and molds a thing of the past. In the future, Digital Light Synthesis will become an essential part of the SPEEDFACTORY, enabling everyone to obtain individual performance products tailored to their personal needs.
