3D-printed insoles help world-record holder return from injury after two years

23/09/2014
Belgian 3D printing services provider Materialise has announced that the current women’s world record holder in the marathon, Paula Radcliffe, has used 3D-printed insoles made by its joint-venture company, RS Print, to run in a 10-kilometre race in Worcester, UK, on September 21.

This event was Paula Radcliffe’s first race in more than two years since a foot injury ruled her out of the London 2012 Olympics.

Newly founded RS Print created insoles that are customised to support the runner’s unique running style.
