Recently, I spent three days and three nights printing a pair of fully 3D-printed sports shoes with a Tuozhu printer and flexible TPU material. It took 500 grams of TPU material with a hardness of 90A to print this pair of shoes. Considering the electricity cost and wear and tear, if this pair of shoes is priced at 399 yuan, do you think it's worth it? Of course, we're not here to sell shoes today. Instead, we'd like to talk to you all about 3D printed shoes.

Why use TPU to print shoes?

1. Super resilience: The flexibility of TPU is stronger than that of EVA foam;

2. One piece molding ：Traditional shoes rerquire 12 components to be joined together，but 3Dprinting only needs one model to complete the process,completely saying goodbye to be the trouble of glue separation.

3. Abnormal customization: Adjust the hollowed out structure based on the arch scanning data,and it can be perfectly adapted for both flat feet and high arches.

Not only that, TPU material itself is an environmentally friendly material, non toxic,harmless and recyclable,in line with the concept of sustainable development,in the current era when environmental awareness is increasingly enhances,this is undoubtedly another highlight of TPU 3Dprinted shoes.

Nowadays, many brands have ventured into the field of TPU 3D printed shoes. The Air Max 1000 sports shoes launched by

Nike are almost entirely 3D printed with TPU materials. The unique design and excellent performance have attracted a large

number of consumers. Adidas, ASICS, Puma and other brands have also successively launched their own 3D printed shoe

models. The Cells 3D-printed all-in one shoes of the domestic trend brand STARAY have achieved remarkable market performance with considerable sales.

TPU 3D printed shoes, with their unique advantages, are changing the landscape of the traditional shoe making industry. With   the continuous advancement of technology and the further reduction of costs, it is believed that in the near future, TPU 3D printed shoes will enter more people's lives, bringing us more surprises and conveniences. Let's look forward to the full arrival of this new era of shoe-making together!
