New Zealand based designer and Shapeways user Earl Stewart<\/a> has designed the XYZ Shoe<\/a> using a combination of 3D Printed Nylon and traditional shoe making materials such as leather and laces.<\/p>\n

\"Shapeways<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Our new Elasto Plastic may be the perfect material to usher in a new range of 3D printed and\/or partially 3D printed shoes into the market.<\/p>\n

Check out Earl’s impressive portfolio<\/a> featuring additional 3D printed footwear experiments and more. <\/p>\n
