SHINING 3D, a global powerhouse of 3D digital technology from 3D Digitizing through Intelligent Design to Additive Manufacturing is proud to be a partner of brands aiming to use 3D technologies for design and production. Having partnered successfully with several famous shoe brands in mainland China, SHINING 3D has expanded the printing service of SLS printed TPU shoe soles globally. One of the most exciting and creative projects is the cooperation with the Japanese footwear brand MAGARIMONO, taking an exotic approach to 3D printed designer footwear with their first collection “step different”.

Design meets technology: walking on clouds made possible

Who hasn´t always wanted to walk on clouds? With the help of the SLS printing technology of SHINING 3D´s EP-C5050 Pro TPU 3D Printer MAGARIMONO´s designers were able to birth their extraordinary ideas into reality. The four initial designs of the MAGARIMONO ORIGINALS Collection carry the title CLOUD. Each design is a tribute to a scientific category of a cloud with each type of shoe featuring a different cushioning structure.

“Clouds are made up of very light water droplets or ice crystals. These particles can float in the air. When warm air rises, swells and cools, it forms clouds. Many water droplets formed together scatter reflect sunlight and you see a white could, but with a dark or gray cloud, the sunlight is scattered in all directions instead of reflected. The different types of clouds are cumulus, cirrus, stratus and nimbus.”-sciencing.com, Molly Smith

The outstanding concept of CLOUD not only enables you to walk on clouds but to even select the type of cloud you would like to walk on. The characteristic cloud pattern sole is then printed with the SHINING 3D EP-C5050 Pro TPU 3D Printer making up the basis of this exciting footwear. The motion and physical state of each waterdrop in the cloud and the concept of the perpetual transformation of the element has been articulated visually by MAGARIMONO´s designers in the collection´s teaser video:

The design aimed for by MAGARIMONO is strongly facilitated and professionalized through 3D printing technology, enabling the brand to produce exotic 3d printed footwear pieces fast, efficiently and authentic to the initial ideas and designs.
