Over three intense days in Milan, we held live demonstrations that highlighted the excellence of 2D–3D real-time integration, automated processes solving problems in minutes, and results that even surprised the most skeptical attendees.

Icad is not a closed software; it’s a living development that evolves alongside the industry. Every conversation with companies at SIMAC reaffirmed our vision: to offer technology that delivers on its promises, because we’re talking about speed, precision, and reliability.

The fair may have ended, but the journey continues. Icad continues to make a difference in the digitalization of footwear creation processes, proving that innovation isn’t just theory but live action.

In March 2025, Red21 carried out a business trip to Brazil, accompanied by Inescop, the developer of Icad, and Defred, our local agent in Brazil, who organized all our activities. This trip turned out to be a key experience for strengthening our business relationships in the country. We explored the Brazilian market in depth, discovered new growth opportunities, and presented the latest developments of Icad, offering a fresh perspective on the technological possibilities our solution brings to the Brazilian market.

The trip began with our participation in FIMEC 2025, the most important international footwear trade fair in Brazil, held in Novo Hamburgo. During the three-day event, our team showcased the new Icad solutions, along with a refreshed brand and product image, marking the beginning of a new era in footwear creation. Attendees had the opportunity to experience firsthand how our solutions integrate new functions and tools specifically designed to meet the needs of footwear technicians. These tools not only ensure total precision and enhance efficiency, but also enable tasks that traditionally take much longer to be completed in just a few minutes. This created a strong impact on the audience and allowed us to expand our network and establish new collaborations.

After the trade fair, we continued our journey to Birigüi, in the state of São Paulo, an important footwear manufacturing hub, especially known for children’s footwear. This city is home to the factories and distribution centers of some of the most prominent brands in the Brazilian market, such as Klin and Pampili, companies we had the opportunity to visit. Both of these long-time users of our solutions shared how Icad has transformed their processes by optimizing workflows, reducing lead times, and improving design precision. These visits were a valuable opportunity to strengthen our business relationships and explore new ways to further enhance their operations through our Icad technology.

We also couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the Senai São Paulo Center in Birigüi, one of the most important technical training institutions for the footwear sector in Brazil. On this occasion, our Executive Director, Antonio Miralles, together with Eduardo Calabuig, Director of Inescop, and our Brazilian agent, Sérgio Paulo Karg from Defred, delivered a conference organized by Sinbi (the Footwear Industry Union of Birigüi). The event highlighted how Icad is revolutionizing the way footwear companies manage their design and production processes.The conference not only served to present our solutions but also provided a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand about the challenges faced by local companies. Many were surprised to learn how Icad has replaced outdated systems, offering much more advanced and efficient technology, perfectly tailored to the needs of the sector.

This trip has been an enriching business experience that not only strengthened our presence in Brazil but also opened the door to new opportunities for expansion and collaboration.
The Icad Universe continues to grow, and we’ll keep sharing our latest developments with you.

The Icad team, made up of Red21 and Inescop, took part in the inaugural Stride USA 2025 event, an important gathering focused on innovation in the U.S. footwear industry, held on March 11 and 12 in Portland, Oregon. This joint presence allowed us to present our Icad solutions by combining two key perspectives: Inescop’s expertise in software development, and Red21’s deep understanding of the industry, gained through direct contact with footwear companies. This partnership results in technology that is not only innovative but truly useful and ready to tackle the real-world challenges of footwear creation.

The presentation sparked significant interest among attendees, thanks to a clear and straightforward approach: showing live what Icad is truly capable of. Many companies pointed out a key difference, while others merely make promises about what their technology might do, Icad demonstrated in real time that its solutions already deliver. What others are still promising, Icad has fully implemented and up and running.

Visitors saw firsthand how Icad transforms ideas into functional 3D models quickly and accurately, delivering immediate results. This drew a constant stream of people to our booth, creating a dynamic space for interaction that led to numerous conversations with professionals who were impressed by the scope and effectiveness of our solutions.

This moment defined our experience at the event and solidified Icad as a strong and reliable alternative in a sector that demands useful, fast, and precise tools, but more importantly, seeks certainty and tangible results.

In addition, our participation in Stride USA allowed us to build a valuable network of contacts with key companies interested in exploring new paths of collaboration. Overall, the outcome of our presence was overwhelmingly positive, both in terms of visibility and the recognition received from those who witnessed the software in action.

Stride USA was, without a doubt, an opportunity not only to show what Icad does, but how it does it: with real solutions, ready to transform the daily work of those who design and produce footwear.

See you at the next event!

Red21, Icad’s distributor and service provider, along with Inescop, its developer, were present to demonstrate how Icad enables precise interconnection between 2D and 3D environments, optimizing footwear design and development processes. During the event, several success stories were presented, demonstrating the efficiency of our technology, including the NNormal project, a collaboration between athlete Kilian Jornet and the Camper brand developed in 3D using Icad.

The video published by Simac Tanning Tech highlights how Icad facilitates the creation of footwear models with absolute precision, reducing development times and optimizing resources. Additionally, its PBR visualization system allows real-time evaluation of textures and finishes, enhancing decision-making at every stage of the design process.

We invite all our clients and followers to watch the full video to learn more about Icad’s capabilities and advantages.
