3D Printing - Up and Running (Literally)

Quote:
Engineers and shoe designers at New Balance Athletic Shoes Inc., Boston, are using 3D printing to make shoes for elite runners (professionals and Olympians) in hopes of improving their performance. The company uses an EOSINT 395 3D printer from EOS to custom-build spike plates, the bottom part of the shoe that contains a pattern of spikes to give runners more traction as they run. The machine creates parts out of plastic using a proprietary nylon powder and laser sintering.
