1 Source
1 Source is a customized 3D printed sneaker which is produced especially for orthopedic niche. Main name derives from idea where client can pick up shoe from the nearest company that uses MJF 3d print (1 source of production). This business model lowers carbon footprint and gives easy access for people with disabilities who want to feel comortable and stylish at the same time.

This shoe is a concept that have a potential in near future when rapid prototyping will have lower cost prices to affect market deeply. Meanwhile it is a statement of new type of simplicity which derives from simple digit 1:
only 1 material (TPU from BASF) - easier to recycle,
needs 1 technology (MJF) - zerowaste due, to no support material, is created
is a 1 part (monolith) - durable shoe,
uses 1 color (native to material) - easier to recycle,
needs 1 move to put on - easy-on shoe.

Our Role
1st Phase was to design a shoe that respects true feet shape and looks like dynamic sportstyle footwear. Best brainstorm ideas were blended together to make the final version. It includes factors like: customized mechanical cushioning in sole, easy entry inside the shoe, breathability+flexibility without loosing long-term durability and ergonomic shape.
2nd Phase was to make 3d model and parametric alghoritm. This part allows project to be customized (length and width of feet, pressure map of specific person and so on)
3rd Phase was to produce fully working prototype using right technology and material. It was done with consultations thanks to nearest MJF print factory support.
4th Phase was testing different prototype models to improve the final product.
