the difference between 3D printed cushions and ordinary cushions(bicycle saddle)
Compared with ordinary cushions, 3D printed cushions have significant advantages and characteristics, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1.Design flexibility: 3D printing technology allows designers to perform parametric design and mechanical simulation to create internal structures with specific mechanical properties. This design enables 3D printed cushions to provide better support and elasticity, while adjusting the softness and hardness according to the support requirements of different areas, providing more "precise" support. In contrast, the design and manufacturing process of ordinary cushions is relatively fixed, and it is difficult to achieve such personalized design.
2.Breathability and cleanability: 3D printed cushions usually adopt an overall hollow design, which has good breathability and is suitable for summer use. In addition, due to its lattice structure design, it is very convenient to clean and can be cleaned with running water.
3.Personalized customization: 3D printing technology allows customized design based on ergonomics, such as customized production based on the rider's ischial width to ensure the highest comfort for the user. This is difficult to achieve with traditional cushions.
4.Materials and manufacturing process: The materials used in 3D printed cushions are mostly highly elastic materials, such as EM+23 high elastic resin, which has the characteristics of high resilience, tear resistance and bending resistance, and is suitable for a variety of elastic cushioning application scenarios such as shoe midsoles, insoles, and cushions.
