Designer Alexander Wang has introduced the Griphoria, a stiletto produced through 3D printing in partnership with on-demand design platform Hilos. Debuting in his spring 2026 collection, the shoe unites multiple resin densities into one form, featuring a seamlessly integrated outsole and heel—created without the need for molds, CAD files, or excess material. “I have never […]

A new German research project is working to overcome the long-standing difficulty of 3D printing high-strength aluminum alloys for aerospace applications. The AlaAF initiative, supported with €1.17 million from the Federal Ministry of Education, Technology and Space (BMFTR) under the Action Plan for Research into the Universe and Matter (ErUM), brings together the Technical University […]

3D printing footwear company Zellerfeld has launched GEN3, its latest 3D printing system ,that combines higher speed, efficiency, and design flexibility. The company’s long-term goal is to transition from factory-made to 3D printed shoes, with a focus on personalization and more sustainable production. “Our first generation, MONO1, got us to hundreds of pairs. Then, GEN2 […]

US company that designs and manufactures bicycles Trek has unveiled the AirLoom, which uses 3D printed lattice structures to redefine how a saddle interacts with a rider’s body. By addressing uneven pressure, hotspots, and friction, it provides lasting comfort across racing, gravel, and casual riding, demonstrating how 3D printing can enhance both fit and performance […]
