What happened
Drifbolt is implementing 3D printing technology in shoe manufacturing, moving away from traditional methods that use 40 components and generate material waste. The new process creates shoes from a single part, allowing for custom fits and fully breathable designs. Kartik Khatri, Co-Founder of Drifbolt, noted that the technology allows a new shoe design to be created and printed in a day, compared to the traditional one-year timeline.

Why it matters
The shift to 3D printing eliminates unsold stock and material waste because each pair is printed only after an order is placed. This change fundamentally alters the speed and efficiency of the footwear supply chain and manufacturing process.
