尽管对定价和工作流程存在疑问，尽管来自亚洲鞋类制造商的激烈竞争，阿迪达斯仍在押注Carbon的鞋类中底技术的想法继续得到回报。某些型号的价格已降至150美元以下，并且新型号不断问世，例如多色4D Fusio。随着许多新技术进入这一细分市场，3D打印鞋类肯定会留下来。

In spite of all the doubts about pricing and workflow, in spite of tough competition from Asian footwear manufacturers, adidas’ idea to bet on Carbon’s technology for footwear midsoles continues to pay off. Pricepoints for some models have dropped below $150 and new models keep coming out, such as the multi-colored 4D Fusio. And with many new technologies coming into this segment, 3D printed footwear is most definitely here to stay.

4D Fusio是一款轻质跑步运动鞋，鞋面采用Primeknit技术制成，是阿迪达斯实现鞋类制造流程自动化的理想组合。这种鞋面的颜色是黑色，粉红色和橙色编织的混合物：4D Fusio的主要创新之处在于3D打印中底也是多色的。

the 4D Fusio is a lightweight running sneaker with the upper made from Primeknit technology, which is the ideal combination for automating the footwear manufacturing workflow at adidas. This upper’s color is a mix of black, pink, and orange knits: the main innovation of the 4D Fusio is that the 3D printed midsole is also multicolor.

利用Carbons专有的数字光合成技术，光和氧的晶格编织可形成一种可行的树脂，看起来比其他4D线产品更薄。虽然adidas已开始提供白色和黑色3D打印中底，以区别于原始的绿色底色，但4D Fusio实际上呈现出多种颜色，白色的尖端逐渐改变了全新的亮橙色（与部分色相匹配）。

Using Carbons’ proprietary Digital Light Synthesis tech, the lattice weave of light and oxygen to create a workable resin appears thinner than other 4D line products. While adidas has already begun offering white and black colored 3D printed midsoles, to differentiate form the original greenish base color, the 4D Fusio actually presents a mix of colors with the white tip gradually changing an entirely new bright orange color (which matches parts of the upper).
