In the vibrant and energetic city, more and more people choose running as a way to release pressure and enjoy life. From the quiet park trails in the morning to the illuminated riverside walkways at night, people who love sports are everywhere.
However, for runners, a pair of suitable sneakers is crucial. It should not only meet the functional needs of running, but also be able to show fashion, trend and versatility.

 

In recent years, the same-color mesh material has become a highlight in sneaker design with its unique visual effect and lightweight texture. Through the fine preparation process, this material cleverly integrates patterns and colors, breaking the single image of traditional mesh and injecting new vitality into sports shoes.

PART 01

The Footwear Industry Challenge

However, in the production process of sports shoes, how to efficiently and accurately cut this same color mesh material has become a major problem for footwear industry. Traditionally, footwear industry usually use punching machines and dies for cutting, but this method is not only inefficient, but also increases the cost of labor, tooling and site management, limiting the flexibility of footwear industry to respond quickly to brand needs.

PART 02

Cracking the cutting problem and improving cutting efficiency

In order to reduce operation cost and increase manufacturing flexibility, we bring the AI visionscan dual-head asynchronous high-efficiency laser cutting machine (GH1660TT-AT-3SCCD-P) to footwear industry. This machine is equipped with the latest AI visionscan system, which is able to accurately locate and identify different styles of mesh materials of the same color, no matter how complex and varied the patterns are, it can achieve high efficiency and accurate cutting. Meanwhile, the addition of automatic feeding system makes the cutting process without manual laying of material by hand, which greatly improves the work efficiency. In addition, the use of projection preview positioning system makes the cutting process more intuitive and controllable.


In addition, for footwear accessories material cutting, we also bring 4-head laser footwear accessories cutting machine (GH1610F-AT), which has become the right-hand man in the production line of footwear industry with its high efficiency and versatility. Equipped with 4 laser heads and an automatic feeding system, this machine is able to cut materials synchronously, solving the problem of personnel feeding and at the same time realizing a direct multiplication of cutting efficiency. The machine is capable of cutting footwear accessories materials such as midsole fabric, TPU and PU synthetic materials with ease. In addition, with the optional scribing device, it can also complete the scribing work at the same time of cutting, further simplifying the production process and reducing costs.

We are well aware that in this competitive era, reducing costs and increasing efficiency and improving the core competitiveness of enterprises are the keys to the sustainable development of footwear industry. Therefore, we hope to provide footwear industry with more efficient and accurate cutting through these advanced solutions, thus promoting the high-quality development of the sports footwear production industry.

 

In the future, we will continue to devote ourselves to technological innovation and industrial upgrading, provide more high-quality equipments and services for footwear industry, and jointly promote the prosperous development of the sports footwear industry.

  • White and light-colored apparel remains a timeless choice in the fashion industry, valued for its clean look and versatility across work and casual settings, reflecting today’s preference for simple, quality living. Behind this “pure aesthetic,” however, lies a long-standing cutting challenge for manufacturers: preserving the fabric’s original beauty while ensuring production efficiency and precision. 01 White Fabric Cutting: A Seemingly Simple but Highly Demanding Challenge In the business world, real pain points are often hidden within needs that appear simple at first glance. Consumers expect white apparel to be clean and flawless, breathable and comfortable, and durable down to the finest details—but meeting all three expectations at once is a real challenge for manufacturers. Natural cotton, linen, and eco-friendly specialty fabrics offer excellent breathability and comfort, yet they are extremely difficult to cut. Traditional laser cutting generates high heat that can cause yellowing, darkening, or scorching along the edges—an almost “fatal flaw” for white fabrics. The result is either scrapped material or compromised brand reputation, driving up waste and production costs. At the same time, modern garment features such as seamless pockets and waterproof bonding tapes require highly precise cutting to ensure quality. Inaccurate cuts from traditional methods often lead...

  • The true refinement of automotive interiors is often hidden in the details you don’t immediately see. From a single piece of plastic raw material to a contoured trim part that fits seamlessly into the cabin, the precision and efficiency of the cutting process directly define the upper limit of product quality—and ultimately shape a manufacturer’s core competitiveness. 01 The Dual Challenge of Cutting Complex Automotive Interior Components As you sit inside a vehicle and run your fingers along the smooth curves of the center console or the precisely cut openings on the door panels, you probably don’t stop to think about how these complex, contoured parts are produced with such consistency. For automotive component manufacturers, however, achieving this level of precision has long been a hidden pain point in production. Traditional stamping dies are bulky and costly to change over, making them ill-suited for customized or irregularly shaped interior parts. Manual trimming, on the other hand, relies heavily on operator experience, often resulting in inconsistent accuracy, excessive burrs, and additional finishing processes that consume time, labor, and may even compromise part precision. As a result, the machining of complex interior parts is often trapped in a dilemma between low efficiency...
