If there is one thing that has been the most successful product in the clothing industry so far, it has to be a variety of 3D-printed shoes. Because 3D Printing can be customized according to the shape of individual feet, but can not achieve mass production. Therefore, the sports field is currently one of the main application fields of 3D printed shoes.

Spanish studio Athos Era has unveiled 3D-printed rock climbing shoes, Athos, also known as "cat feet." A year ago, one of their engineers, Vivek, injured his foot while climbing, mainly because of a faulty shoe design. They then conducted a survey, interviewing dozens of rock climbers. After investigation, rock climbing shoes are more functional, comfort is often not very good. Some rock climbers wear shoes a size 1-2 too small for better grip.

This is not only uncomfortable, but may even hurt. To solve these problems, they plan to develop climbing shoes. Now, after a year of painstaking research and development, their climbing shoes are finally complete. Athos's architecture is simple, with 3D-printed bodies and elastic bands. The body is made of TPU material, which has very good softness and elasticity.

To take full advantage of 3D printing, they have also adopted a custom model. The workflow is as follows: foot scanning, design, manufacturing (3D printing, post-processing, assembly), delivery. This provides a pair of comfortable and performance rock climbing shoes for rock climbing enthusiasts.

Athos has also been able to use 50% less material thanks to its 3D-printing process. In terms of environmental protection has also been done very well.The advantages of high customization of printing technology have been applied in various fields and are playing an increasingly important role in facilitating People's Daily life.

The above is about 3D printing. Our company also has Product Development, Mold Maker, Rapid Prototype, Plastic Mould, 3D Print, and Plastic Injection Molding. You can consult us if you are interested.
