![]() The number of brands making this available continues to grow, with SmarTech Analysis predicting 3D footwear to generate $6.5 billion by 2029. Other brands, like FitMyFoot, offer 3D printed insoles and sandals. Smaller companies like Fused, 3DShoes, and OESH-Shoes, manufacture completely 3D printed shoes that are made to order. The 3D printed aspects of these shoes make the final product more lightweight, customizable, and easier to mass-produce. Major brands like Adidas, Nike, and Under Armor have started to 3D print different aspects of their shoes like mid-soles, cleats, and uppers (the part of the shoe that covers the foot). Shoes Can Be Fully Printed or Partially Printed Some programs that specialize in making your own 3D shoe design are Shoemaster, ICad3D+, and Romans Cad. However, the benefit of 3D printing becoming so popular and widespread is that people have created software specifically to fill in these niches. These CAD programs we mentioned are great for general 3D printing. Specialized Software for 3D Printing Shoes This software instructs the nozzle where each of these layers needs to be in order to perfectly create this digital object in real life. This process also called fused deposition modeling, is directed by computer-aided-design (CAD) software like Nano CAD, 3D Crafter, or Adobe Dimension CC. What Is Additive Manufacturing and How Does It Make Shoes?Īccording to GE, additive manufacturing is the process of fusing a series of incredibly thin, melted layers of material, one on top of the other, until they cool to create a single three-dimensional product. With the rise of 3D printing in the public sphere over the last few years, people are only just now discovering a process known as additive manufacturing that has been used in the corporate world for a while. ![]() ![]() Table of Contents How Can Shoes Be 3D Printed? ![]()
