LOUBOUTI-tane - January 2017
During this sales period, here is a new model of high heel "made in SIMaP", entirely made of Titanium, almost as elegant as the famous Louboutin trademark. It is in fact a tensile specimen fabricated at 45° by additive manufacturing using the Electron Beam Melting technology. The specimen was obtained by sequential melting of 50 microns thick layers of pre-alloyed powder. The brightness of the part is due to partially melted powder grains stuck to the surface.
