Originally reported by VoxelMatters

Japanese brand HYBEX launched the HX LENS sneaker featuring a patented 3D-printed HeliX metamaterial midsole produced via Carbon DLS 👟. The structure compresses while rotating forward, converting vertical impact into forward propulsion—a mechanical feat unattainable with traditional foam. Tested for 500 km and 125,000 flex cycles without failure, this $180 product proves industrial AM’s readiness for high-performance consumer goods. This signals a shift where 3D printing is used to program material physics. #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #CarbonDLS #FootwearInnovation #Metamaterials
