Abstract: Described are methods for manufacturing a plastic component, in particular a cushioning element for sports apparel, a plastic component manufactured with such methods, for example a sole or a part of a sole for a shoe, and a shoe with such a sole. The method for the manufacture of a plastic component includes loading a mold with a first material includes particles of an expanded material and fusing the surfaces of the particles by supplying energy. The energy is supplied in the form of at least one electromagnetic field.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for interconnecting components of a sporting good, in particular a sports shoe, and a sports shoe manufactured with such a method. The method may include (a.) forming a pattern element having at least one removable at least partially non-transparent or non-reflective portion, (b.) irradiating at least one of the first and the second component via the pattern element with heat radiation and (c.) interconnecting the irradiated first and second component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite sports article. The composite sports article includes: a first component and a second component which was produced by means of an additive manufacturing technique. The first component and the second component are bonded to each other by a first bonding agent and there is a form-fitted bond between the first bonding agent and the second component and/or the first component and the second component are bonded to each other in a form-fitted manner via a first bonding agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mold for manufacturing a sole from a plurality of particles.

Abstract: A sole mold for manufacturing a sole from a plurality of particles includes at least one first opening for supplying the particles, and at least two second openings for supplying a gaseous and/or liquid medium to bond and/or fuse the particles together. At least a portion of the sole mold is manufactured by an additive manufacturing method.
