INDIANAPOLIS — Fitasy Inc., an Indianapolis-based footwear company, announced a new scan-to-print system designed to make custom-fit 3D-printed shoes more accessible and affordable.
The patent-pending technology allows consumers to create shoes precisely tailored to their feet using only a smartphone. By combining spatial artificial intelligence, advanced imaging and digital light projection 3D printing, the system replaces traditional footwear sizing methods that have changed little since the 19th century and often fail to reflect the diversity of human foot shapes.
Yujun Wang, CEO and Co-Founder of Fitasy said, “The foot is one of the most complex mechanical structures of the human body – 33 joints, 26 bones, over 100 muscles, tendons, ligaments,and more than 8000 nerves all working together to support every step. Yet, achieving a comfortable and healthy shoe fit remains a challenge for many, particularly women, who disproportionately wear ill-fitting shoes. While we have personalized many aspects of our well-being – fitness, nutrition, and sleep – through technology, our shoes remain mass-produced and standard-fit. Our vision is to make true personalization affordable, stylish, and accessible for anyone who has ever suffered from an ill-fitting pair of shoes.”…
