Quick Summary
Additional Context
3D printing footwear company Zellerfeld has announced a partnership with Volumental to connect precision foot scanning directly into its on-demand shoe manufacturing platform. Under the arrangement, foot geometry captured through Volumental’s in-store and mobile scanning experiences feeds into Zellerfeld’s 3D printing pipeline, allowing each shoe to be produced to the specific contours of an individual customer’s foot.
Zellerfeld evaluated foot-scanning providers globally before selecting Volumental. Precision of measurement, accuracy of the resulting 3D foot model, and ease of customer use all factored into the decision.
