Orthopaedie Schuh Technik, 2025
Still relying on CNC milling?
Join us in Cologne and discover the technology behind the world's first PolyMorphic Moulding Machine, optimised for the orthopedic footwear industry.
A Radical New Way to Manufacture Orthotics
To meet the need for a more flexible, sustainable and cost-effective manufacturing process, Fyous developed PolyMorphic Moulding.
Thousands of digitally controlled pins form moulds in minutes. No more wasteful subtractive processes like CNC milling.
1 tool. Millions of moulds.
What To Expect
OST Messe is the go-to event to discover the latest in manufacturing, wholesalers and service providers within the orthopedic footwear industry. The only trade fair of its kind.
Fyous are excited to unveil the future of manufacturing orthopedic footwear and orthotics more generally. PolyMorphic Moulding enables the manufacturing of bespoke products such as shoe lasts in a fully automated fashion.
This new category of manufacturing uses shape-shifting moulds to create shapes in minutes, with almost zero material waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PolyMorphic Moulding?
PolyMorphic is an entirely new category of manufacturing. Moulds are made from thousands of digitally controlled pins which reconfigure automatically to form new mould shapes in minutes. Through material injection, PolyMorphic Moulding produces precise parts such a shoe lasts.
How does PolyMorphic Moulding compare to CNC Milling?
CNC Milling's subtractive manufacturing process produces up to 72% material waste. PolyMorphic Moulding injects only the material needed, with a reconfigurable mould that can be used for any number of shapes.
How does PolyMorphic Moulding compare to 3D printing?
PolyMorphic Moulding is a manufacturing process previously unseen in any industry. Rather than relying on printing layer-by-layer, we enable material injection inside a reconfigurable mould. This leaves a strong and durable product at a speed that is simply not possible with 3D printing.
What material are parts made from?
Footwear components such as lasts are made of a high-strength polyurethane that is both lightweight and durable. This means they will withstand any post-processing without compromising the lasts' integrity.
