Explore geometry and material together.
Compare combinations of shape and material under consistent test conditions. See the tradeoffs across candidate designs and concentrate prototype effort on the options that matter.
Metafold / Digital Test Bench
Explore the design before cutting the mold.
Virtual mechanical testing for footwear teams comparing geometry and materials.
Give physical testing a better starting point.
Each mold, sample and shipment limits how many ideas a footwear team can investigate. Digital Test Bench lets teams compare design alternatives in simulation while material and geometry choices are still open.
Explore mechanical responses including compression, bending, stiffness and energy return on midsoles and sole stacks. Use the comparisons to select candidates for the next physical test.
Connect simulation to material behavior.
Use physical test data to inform material calibration and compare the simulated response. Define the loading conditions and performance measures around the question your team needs to answer.
Evaluate a real development decision.
Choose a component, a material and a test. Agree the response to compare, the physical reference data and the design decision the study should support.
More evidence for the next prototype.
Explore more alternatives
Compare design candidates before committing to another mold or sample.
Understand tradeoffs
Review how geometry and material choices affect the mechanical response.
Focus physical testing
Use simulation to identify which candidates and questions deserve the next test.
