Additive manufacturing in Footwear is the use of additive manufacturing in footwear: primarily for lattice-structured midsoles and increasingly for last molds, prototypes, and custom orthotic insoles.
Why AM fits Footwear: Footwear AM is dominated by lattice midsole production (Adidas Futurecraft 4D / Strung / 4DFWD via Carbon CDLP, EOS-based competitors, HP MJF). Custom orthotic insoles via SLS are the second-largest segment. Brooks, On Running, New Balance, and ECCO have all shipped AM-derived production lines.
Common AM processes: VPP-DLP (Carbon CDLP), MJF, SLS for orthotics. Typical materials: EPU 40/41 (Carbon), TPU, PA12.
