Customized 3D-Printed Sandals

The Wiivv 3D-Printed Custom Sandals are Stylish and Comfortable

— March 27, 2017 — Fashion
Those who are looking for a comfortable summer footwear solution could be interested in the Wiivv 3D-Printed Custom Sandals as a way to get a pair of accessories that are all their own. The sandals are, as their name denotes, crafted using 3D printing technology which makes each pair completely unique to the person who orders them. This is achieved by taking a digital map of the foot in order to ensure that all various points of the foot are taken into account for optimal support and ergonomics.

The Wiivv 3D-Printed Custom Sandals come with interchangeable straps that can be adjusted to suit your needs, fit or preference. The triple-density foam footbed on the sandals is 100% recyclable to make them a more sustainable footwear design.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized 3d-printed Footwear - Opportunity for companies to offer custom 3D-printed footwear based on a digital map of the customer's foot for optimal support and comfort.
2. Interchangeable Straps - Companies can design 3D-printed footwear that includes interchangeable straps to allow for customization and personalization.
3. Sustainable Footwear Design - Opportunity for companies to explore 3D-printed footwear designs made with 100% recyclable materials to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Manufacturing - Opportunity for traditional footwear manufacturers to integrate 3D printing technology to offer personalized and sustainable footwear designs.
2. Sports and Fitness - Opportunity for companies to offer custom 3D-printed athletic footwear that can be optimized for an athlete's unique foot and performance needs.
3. E-commerce - Opportunity for e-commerce retailers to offer custom 3D-printed footwear, using digital foot scans, to a niche market of consumers seeking personalized footwear solutions.
