HILOS is making footwear more sustainable without skimping on style


When people imagine what 3D printing is, they might think of plastic knickknacks and miniature figurines that teenagers make in their high school

For HILOS(Human Innovation Lab Operating System), 3D printing means creating footwear that’s chic, low-waste, and runway ready. A surefire way to minimize overproduction is to only produce what customers actually buy — but on-demand retail services are expensive, since the shoes aren’t made in bulk. As part of its tech platform for brands, HILOS uses AI and AR technology to more quickly convert sketches of shoes into 3D models that can be printed.
