HP has unveiled a collaboration with Superfeet and New Balance to produce individually customized 3D-printed insoles for consumers. The collaboration, according to the companies, demonstrates continued momentum in HP’s digital transformation of the footwear industry through the application of personalized biometric data for the customized design and 3D printing of personalized insoles.
