Reo Koda – In Fill Out - TPU
with
Augustin Scott de Martinville,
Camille Blin
In Fill Out is a new manufacturing process that inflates a 3D printed object by heating the air inside.
In order to achieve the most effective use of activated air, I designed the shoe sole to take advantage of its cushioning function with TPU – a kind of material that is flexible, recyclable, and widely used in the footwear industry.
The result introduces new possibilities for digital manufacturing: fewer materials, lightweight, zero waste, recyclability, short printing time, less post-processing, personalisation to the foot, and much more.
