Case Study: Saucony streamlines shoe development and collaboration with Lumafield CT scanning

Saucony streamlines shoe development and reduces destructive testing with Lumafield

Saucony, a leading athletic shoe company, faced the challenge of a labor-intensive and wasteful design process. To ensure high performance, they relied on shipping physical shoe prototypes and then destructively cutting them open for internal analysis. This process was slow, costly, and restricted collaboration. To overcome these limitations, Saucony turned to Lumafield and its industrial CT scanning technology.

By implementing Lumafield's CT scanner, Saucony eliminated the need to destroy every prototype. Engineers could now digitally examine the internal components of an intact shoe, from molding to material density. This solution saved time and reduced waste while fostering better collaboration across teams like marketing and product management. The scans created a "digital closet" for comparing designs, streamlining communication, and improving the overall product development process for Saucony.
