Our competition entry champions a sustainable approach to home clothing production. Using Econyl, a material derived from recycled ocean plastics, we craft mono-material shoes with an ideal fit, thanks to 3D scanning. Our design masterfully combines flexibility and support through mesh adjustments. What's innovative is our 3D-to-2D design, enabling complete flat 3D printing, minimizing waste, and setting the stage for a future where fashion is created on demand, reducing storage needs, and promoting eco-friendly practices.
