Advancing 3D printed footwear beyond aesthetics and into performance Consumer Products

In essence, the capacity of advancement is expanded with greater control over the midsole arrangement. This notion served as the foundation of our project examining ‘The enhancement of running performance through 3D printed midsole design’.
