DESMA Mould Making Department
The DESMA mould department develops and produces
sole moulds for customers and the complete DESMA
machinery range.
We work with our customers and are proud of
our extensive customer consultation process.
Our highly-skilled, creative team – supported by state
of the art technology – enables the transfer of
customers' plans and wishes into market success.
Let us show you how we can turn your ideas into reality!
DESMA 3D CAD CAM Line
The shoe undergoes various development phases from the initial idea to
the finished product. DESMA uses a combination of traditional techniques
(handmade last models) and advanced technologies (computer controlled
design and production). This process of mould development is realised by
the DESMA 3D CAD CAM Line.

Last Support
The last is the essential component of development and shoe
production. DESMA has more than 50 years experience in the
field of the production of lasts. This enables us to provide the
best possible consultation concerning lasts.
Your future product is still lacking the right last? We can help you.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)
Computer Aided Design enables shortest possible lead times from idea
to product. DESMA is well equipped with CAD working places in its Mould
Design Department.

Interactive Design Editor
In almost every case the designing process begins with the production
of 2D drafts. These are usually sent as hard copy or by fax. Quite often
in order to save time, drafts are sent by fax. This frequently leads to
misinterpretations of the design because of insufficient transmission
quality. Correcting this can lead to a major loss of time. The Interactive
Design Editor avoids these misinterpretations.

Rapid Prototyping
Customers need concrete results in the early development process
of a new sole. Here, rapid prototyping processes offer new possibilities.
This process enables a physical model to be produced directly from the
designer's 3D-CAD data.
To fulfil just these demands, DESMA has installed the currently most
rapid process. Thus, a design can be judged before the production of
a metal mould.

Rapid Tooling
For some customers an evaluation on the basis of a model sole is not
sufficient. Our service Rapid Tooling enables the production of a single-
layer PU sole on the basis of the model sole.

Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
We have several modern CAM workstations dedicated to
mould programming. Diverse design requirements and
grading methods are catered for by milling programs.
Our CAM system is the result of many years of experience.
Demanding sole designs and quick introduction on the
market requires a continuous development of the mould
production technology.
At DESMA this includes the continued development of the
high speed cutting process.
