LuxCreo 3D Printing Smart Factory is part of Asics’ Personalisation Studio, which also uses Dassault Systèmes’ technology, to scan, design and print.
The companies will offer the service to athletes in Paris at the Olympics.
Genki Hatano, lead researcher in the green manufacturing research team at Asics Institute of Sport Science, said: “Our research with athletes shows they feel the value of personalised footbeds. This has inspired us to consider making personalised footwear accessible to all.”
