Instead of continuing with traditional, centralised manufacturing, the company has created a model in which insoles are designed, printed and fitted locally\u2014often within a few hours\u2014and form part of a deposit-scheme-driven circular supply chain. <\/p>\n<p>The business model is a strategic asset in itself: Customers pay a deposit that is refunded upon return, encouraging circular behaviour and creating a loyalty-driven market. At the same time, decentralised production supports local businesses, reduces transport and inventory costs, and differentiates the company in a market characterised by standardised products. <\/p>\n<p>This approach shows how advanced manufacturing technology can serve as the foundation for new business models that are strong in sustainability, customer experience, differentiation and long-term competitiveness.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204648&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;92683&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;162367&#8243; media_link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fam-hub.dk%2Fkc-denmark-skaerer-ned-pa-dele-og-samling-med-3d-print%2F&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184735&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939257362{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;451755&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#0903d4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-column&#8221;][vc_column_text text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;574149&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-with-check&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: white !important;\">Results from programmes with Dansk AM Hub<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Local production closer to the customer<\/li>\n<li>Low inventory tie-up<\/li>\n<li>Deposit scheme creates loyal customers<\/li>\n<li>80% recycling across the life cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;609024&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;690352&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Value and impact for the company<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/am-sustain\/\">Dansk AM Hub<\/a> played a central role in maturing both the technology, the business model and the market perspective in Create it REAL\u2019s circular solution.

At the core of the concept is a 3D printer and printer management software, optimised to produce customised, functional insoles with minimal resource use. The customer\u2019s foot is scanned, and the insole is printed precisely to their needs, meaning no excess waste and more accurate function. After use, the insole is returned for recycling, where up to 80% of the material is used in the production of the next generation of insoles.   <\/p>\n<p>This changes the business logic from mass production to on-demand production\u2014with lower inventory tie-up, faster delivery and better fit for the individual.
