Polyurea elastomer resin series is the most innovative series of materials independently developed by Revo. As the first material of the series, TA11 has accurate and balanced mechanical expression of multiple mechanical properties of energy rebound, tear resistance and strong stretching, which is widely used in various applications such as shockproof, rebound, buffer, sealing, sound insulation, impact protection, etc. On this basis, the elastic lattice produced by TA11 can perfectly replace the traditional foam elastomers, enabling them to have great potential in catalyzing the new generation of products in many consumer and industrial fields such as sports equipment, rehabilitation appliances, special seal and so on.
Structure that traditional manufacturing can't realize
TA11 is the most innovative representative material in additive manufacturing field. TA11 relies on the digital photon manufacturing technology (DPM?) of Revo to produce elastic lattice which can not be realized by traditional manufacturing technology. The design of elastic lattice is not limited by size, shape, appearance or even performance. Developers can not only improve the visual impact of the product, but also adjust the product performance on the basis of improving the aesthetics, so that the product force can be released to the maximum extent.
Hypercube structure, octagonal lattice structure, minimal surface structure
As shown in the figure, only TA11 is used, and different appearance and performance expression of the product can be realized by changing the structure. That is to say, the lattice structure elastomer produced by TA11 has unprecedented diversified physical feedback performance, which can bring new user experience in sports equipment, protective equipment, noise reduction, shock absorption and rebound applications.
Parametric design
The use of TA11 polyurea elastomer resin to produce elastic lattice also brings unprecedented parametric performance optimization solutions. Product performance can be flexibly adjusted from multiple parametric dimensions, as shown in the following examples:
Lattice diameter
The size of the wire diameter of the lattice.
Lattice density
In a certain volume, the number of lattice structure units.
Lattice structure
The shape and arrangement of lattice structural elements.
Lattice combination
The combination of different lattice wire diameter, density and structure.
As shown in the figure, with parametric design, the compression load performance of elastic lattice can be changed freely, and the flexibility of performance design can be improved, including but not limited to energy rebound, hardness, shock absorption, lightweight, etc. This unique digital performance design solution enables the next generation of products to have three differentiation advantages:
Precise control of mechanical properties
As shown in the dynamic drawing, TA11 can provide precise mechanical feedback in different areas by parameterized design without changing the material itself, providing new ways and ideas for performance design, and obtaining a completely new product experience that traditional foam elastomers can not achieve.
Distributed mechanical performance presentation
On the basis of precise control of mechanical properties, parametric design can also extend the precise control of mechanical properties to all parts of the whole product through lattice combination, so that different parts of the end products show different mechanical properties.
Cut out construction for comfort
Before the introduction of TA11, in order to obtain a better rebound experience, the foam elastomers with different mechanical feedback can be stacked up to a multilevel. Besides the tedious production process, the permeability of the products is greatly reduced. When using TA11 elastic lattice instead of traditional foam elastomer, TA11 can use its own advantages to improve the air circulation efficiency inside and outside the product. Especially when the seat backrest, helmet liner, bicycle seat and so on contact with the skin for a long time and generate more heat with the movement of the body, the better extrusion and heat dissipation effect can be provided through the motion extrusion product itself.
The comprehensive advantages of precise mechanical performance control, distributed rebound feedback, and excellent ventilation and heat dissipation make TA11 popular. More and more partners are exploring solutions to enhance performance experience based on the advantages of TA11 in applications such as sports shoes, bicycle seats, helmets, seat armrests, glasses, headphones, etc.
Parametric design enabling product innovation
Revo has created various sports products that can be mass customized to meet the performance preferences of its consumers according to the preferences of sports brands. Compared with the traditional design process, the flexible data-based performance design capability provides a very efficient process plan for product development. Take the sneaker midsole as an example:
The brand only needs to confirm the "foot feeling" of each part of the middle sole, i.e. the mechanical feedback that each part of the middle sole needs to meet, and then confirm the shape and size of the middle sole, i.e. the physical limit to the elastic lattice, so that the mechanical expression of each part of the middle sole can be precisely controlled by the parametric design.
With the appearance of TA11 polyurea elastomer resin, designers have the ability to use a kind of material for the first time, that is, to express perfectly the different mechanical feedback of each independent area of the end product.
In contrast, if we want to achieve different performance feedback by using traditional foam elastomers in different parts of the bottom of the sneakers, it is necessary to stack the foam elastomers with different mechanical feedback for multi-layer physical stacking and repeatedly trial and error. It is not only inefficient but also cumbersome and time-consuming.

Infinite application imagination space
With the introduction of TA11, enabling engineers can improve the performance of products in shock proof, rebound, buffer, sealing, sound insulation, impact protection and other scenes with a single material only through parametric lattice design, which makes TA11 have great application potential in many consumer and industrial fields such as sports equipment, rehabilitation equipment, special-shaped sealing, etc.
The product designer can make full use of the distributed rebound characteristics brought by the elastic lattice produced by TA11 to launch a new category of products with personalized performance expression and comfort greatly improved.
In the foreseeable future, consumers can choose more suitable products according to their physical advantages. For example, when purchasing sports shoes, two customers with the same shoe size and different weight can choose the sole with different rebound expression to provide consumers with new dimension options of performance.
