Designers use 3D printing to create entries for the Hong Kong shoe design competition

In recent years, 3D printing technology has really opened up a new possibility and creative door for fashion design. In the past few years, we have been using 3D printing creations by creative designers all over the world. Marvel at the work. This time, we caught our attention with a series of fantasy 3D printed shoes from Hong Kong. These shoes are also the entries of Hong Kong's annual footwear design competition.

It is understood that the competition is jointly organized by the Hong Kong Footwear Association (FFHK) and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. There are many outstanding local designers participating each year. This year is the 16th. In addition, the most special this year is that contestants will have the opportunity to design and build their own entries using Stratasys' full-color, multi-material J750 3D printer. According to reports, the shoe design competition received more than 800 entries, and judges from various fields, such as design circles and retailers, selected 20 winning works based on the creativity, beauty and makeability of the design. The winning entries will be on display from now until September 11.

The Vice President of the Hong Kong Footwear Association commented on the entries submitted this year: "These shoes have proven the ability of 3D printing technology. 3D printing has broken the manufacturing technology limitations of previous complex designs. Previously some designs were organic And complex shapes are almost impossible to make. Now designers can achieve almost all their imagination with 3D printers ."

Of course, these energetic and well-designed shoes are not capable of any 3D printer, thanks to the Stratasys J750's powerful multi-color (up to 360,000 different verifications) and multi-material 3D printing capabilities. You can see the design of these shoes from the photos, completely breaking through the traditional concept. For example, the following award-winning antelope, the heel resembles an antelope horn, made with 3D printing technology, and the upper is made of wool.

The possibilities offered by 3D printing technology are limitless, and we look forward to seeing and realizing the local market. More new ideas and further disrupt the way products are manufactured.

Plastic Lunch Box

It was so worth it to switch from plastic to glass! No more stains, no more scratches, no more replacing worn plastic containers every year! These are the containers we use for leftovers. We usually cook enough dinner for lunch the next day, so hot meals go straight to dinner plates and then into lunch containers. These are also easy to clean, I leave the meal boxes anywhere in the dishwasher, but I usually wash the LIDS by hand. If cleaning is required, the sealing ring inside the cover can also be removed.
