Why this company matters

AMPulse analysis, not a company disclosure

PollyFab, operating as Boli Technology in Luzhou, China, positions itself as a global 3D-printed healthy lifestyle brand serving consumers across 90 countries. Founded in 2017, the company targets a gap between mass-produced footwear and fully bespoke manufacturing by combining ultra-speed photopolymer 3D printing with a retail store model that enables on-site customization.

The company's core technology is High-speed Liquid Shaping (HLS), a proprietary ultra-speed photopolymer process that uses a 5-axis setup to produce complex elastomeric geometries. PollyFab claims this approach achieves mass production capability for elastomers without traditional molds, using its custom bio-based ELASTO 1000 BIO material. The product line includes the Aero, Flux, Airpuff One Pro, and Aero Ballerine Flat 3D-printed shoes, along with accessories such as the Relief Ball and Toy Keychain.

PollyFab targets footwear consumers and smart wearable enthusiasts, with a notable partnership with The Walt Disney Company that included a showcase at Shanghai Fashion Week in 2023. The company opened a consumer-focused 3D printing store in Luzhou in 2024, signaling a direct-to-consumer retail strategy. Its technology has been recognized by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as a national 3D printing application scenario typical case.

The company has raised $27.8 million from investors including Luzhou Aerospace Development Group and Beijing Zhilai Investment Management. Key competitive risks include scaling HLS technology beyond footwear into adjacent verticals such as robotics and dental care, and defending against established polymer AM players like Polymaker. CEO Wang Wenbin, a materials expert and founder of PollyPolymer, leads a team of 201-500 employees.
