Insole manufacturer Superfeet has partnered with Jabil to offer custom 3D printed insoles to consumers worldwide.
With plans to introduce custom-made insoles by incorporating 3D printing technology in their manufacturing process, Superfeet has teamed up with electronic manufacturing company Jabil and invested in 3D scanning technology platform SafeSize.
“For 40 years we have set the standard for shape and fit. Until today the technology was not available to deliver 3D printed insoles that met Superfeet’s exacting standards,” said Eric Hayes, Vice President of Marketing and Product for Superfeet. “By working with world-class partners who are experts in 3D printing and scanning, and combining that with Superfeet’s expertise in shape, we now have a 3D printed solution that will exceed expectations.”
“3D Printing Technology opens powerful opportunities, Superfeet is leading the way in the insole category,” said John Dulchinos, VP, Global Automation and 3D Printing at Jabil. “It is a pleasure to support Superfeet’s commitment to provide the best fit and function with unprecedented 3D design and process innovation.”
Superfeet plans to bring their 3D printing program for custom fit insoles to market in 2017.
