Zhongke Fengyang Completes Series A Financing to Accelerate Innovation in the 3D Digital Shoe Mold Industry

Recently, Zhongke Fengyang (Fujian) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongke Fengyang), a leading domestic enterprise in the field of metal 3D printed shoe molds, announced the completion of its Series A financing.This round of financing was led by Fujian Quanzhou Specialized Innovation Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership). The raised funds will be mainly invested in R&D of metal 3D printing technology, intelligent upgrading of digital shoe mold production lines and global market expansion, so as to further consolidate the company's core strengths in the intelligent manufacturing of shoe molds.

Breakthrough Technology Redefines a New Paradigm for Shoe Mold Manufacturing

Zhongke Fengyang (Fujian) Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2019. It is a national high-tech enterprise that deeply applies metal 3D printing technology to shoe mold manufacturing in China.

Core Focus

The company focuses on full-chain innovation of 3D digital additive manufacturing. It has independently developed a metal 3D digital design system, delivering efficient and precise one-stop solutions for high-end sole molds used in professional sports shoes and functional footwear. Its core technologies cover key links including mold structural topology optimization, high-precision printing processes and rapid post-processing. These technologies greatly extend mold service life and boost production efficiency, while addressing the pain points of traditional shoe mold manufacturing such as long lead times, high costs and design limitations.

Company Growth

Thanks to its technological breakthroughs and industrialization capabilities, Zhongke Fengyang's project titled Innovative Design of Lightweight Structures and Intelligent Production of Metal Shoe Molds was listed among the Typical Application Scenarios for Additive Manufacturing released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2023.In 2024, the company was recognized as a Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative (SRDI) Enterprise of Fujian Province. It has established strategic cooperation with leading sportswear brands including Li-Ning and Xtep. Meanwhile, the company joins hands with the Quanzhou Equipment Manufacturing Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fuzhou University and other institutions to build a technological ecosystem and advance the formulation of industrial standards.

A relevant person in charge at Fujian Quanzhou Specialized Innovation Venture Capital stated: "Zhongke Fengyang has restructured the shoe mold manufacturing process with metal 3D printing technology. Its model combining digital design and additive manufacturing greatly shortens the R&D cycle and enables footwear enterprises to respond quickly to market demands. We look forward to leveraging the synergy between capital and technology to drive the shoe mold industry toward flexibility and intelligence, and fuel the upgrading of the footwear manufacturing sector in Quanzhou and across the globe."

Innovation-Driven, Building a Global Benchmark for Shoe Mold Industry

Zhongke Fengyang’s core team consists of interdisciplinary experts specializing in 3D printing, materials science and shoe mold design. The team has solved multiple industry challenges in additive manufacturing and sole mold production, with its technical indicators reaching internationally advanced levels. The company’s self-developed 3D modeling digital platform enables full-process data connectivity across shoe mold design, simulation and manufacturing, serving all segmented areas of sole mold production.

Future Development

Going forward, Zhongke Fengyang plans to expand its intelligent production lines with the proceeds from this financing and further explore overseas markets across Europe, America, Southeast Asia and beyond. Adhering to the philosophy of "leading the industry through innovation and keeping pace with global technology", the company strives to become a benchmark for intelligent shoe mold manufacturing worldwide and deliver efficient, eco-friendly and customized future solutions for the footwear industry.
