Somos® Momentum

For complex shapes and detail

Covestro collaborated with key footwear manufacturers to develop Somos® Momentum, a compelling solution that combines rich feature detail and dimensional stability with the most efficient printing outcomes available without compromising surface quality or dimensional accuracy.

Somos® Momentum offers high part accuracy, quality and fine feature detail. The outstanding accuracy of the resin allows the forming of sharp features, which in turn enables the creation of detailed footwear soles not only in initial design, but also translated into the aluminum mold. In addition, the pink color of the material makes it easy to discern key features in the design and to inspect the parts for surface defects.

Taking this technology a step further, direct printing of the sole will omit the need for detailing or texturing, speeding up the traditional tooling process up to 60%, enabling a cost reduction up to 30%.
