Adidas Introduces 3D Printed Shoe Made With Carbon Technology

Today, Adidas introduced a new partially 3D printed shoe made, according to the company, with light and oxygen. No, it didn't involve reverse-engineering photosynthesis - it involved Digital Light Synthesis, the process behind Carbon's now-famous CLIP technology. Digital Light Synthesis combines digital light projection with an oxygen-permeable environment and programmable resins to create strong, durable, high-performance polymer parts - in this case, a lattice-printed insole that forms the core of the new Adidas Futurecraft 4D.
