Fitasy Makes Custom-Fit 3D Printed Shoes More Affordable & Accessible
Fitasy Inc. has announced a novel digital platform that integrates smartphone-based 3D foot scanning with additive manufacturing to produce custom-fit 3D printed shoes.
The technology utilizes proprietary spatial artificial intelligence and imaging software to create a precise model of an individual's foot morphology, which then informs the design and production of a shoe via digital light projection 3D printing. The resulting product features a multi-layered lattice structure intended to provide adaptive cushioning. The silhouette is constructed from a single, recyclable material.
Fitasy positions its breakthrough platform for custom-fit 3D printed shoes as a solution to the limitations of traditional, standardized shoe sizing. The goal is to improve comfort, support foot health, and reduce manufacturing waste. The integration of a smartphone as the primary scanning tool dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for customization, making the process convenient, accessible from home, and likely more affordable than traditional bespoke methods
