Autrion Technology: Reinventing Footwear with Resin Printing

Printing the Future of Shoes

Shoes have been made the same way for decades: foam, fabric, glue, and plastic all stitched and layered together. They break down quickly, trap bacteria, and can’t be recycled.

Autrion changes that.

We use advanced bio-based resin 3D printing to build shoes from a liquid material that’s hardened into a seamless, precision-engineered structure. Every cell of cushioning is printed to the exact firmness required — no guesswork, no weak spots, less waste.

This isn’t “just another sneaker.”

It’s an entirely new category of footwear.

How Resin Printing Works

Resin printing begins with a liquid photopolymer - a material that’s cured into solid form with light. Using this process, we can:

  • Shape the unshapeable: create lattices and geometries impossible with foam or fabric.
  • Control firmness with precision: softer where you need cushioning, firmer where you need stability.
  • Eliminate waste: shoes emerge fully formed from the printer, no stitching, no gluing, no cutting.
  • Achieve unmatched consistency: every pair is identical in performance and feel.

The result: footwear that looks great, feels natural, and build to last.

Why Resin Printing is a Breakthrough

Unlike traditional foam or knit shoes, resin printing allows us to:

  • Design with precision → custom-tuned lattice cushioning for support and flexibility.
  • Print in one recyclable material → no glue, no seams, no waste.
  • Build hygienic footwear → breathable lattice prevents sweat and bacteria buildup.
  • Ensure long-term durability → resin lattices keep their shape and bounce long after foam is dead.
  • Enable true recyclability → once worn down, shoes can be broken down and reused.

Why Traditional Shoes Fall Short

  • Foam breaks down: loses bounce within months.
  • Shoes trap bacteria: fabrics and foams absorb sweat, creating odor.
  • Not recyclable: 30+ materials fused together = landfill.
  • Overbuilt: inadequate cushioned structures that weaken natural foot strength.

Autrion solves every one of these problems in a single printed form.

Autrion Patents: Protecting the Future of Footwear

Innovation is at the core of everything we do. Autrion holds multiple patents pending in resin-based shoe printing, covering:

  • Lattice cushioning systems with variable density zones.
  • Breathable, single material uppers that move naturally with the foot.
  • Methods of building footwear through additive manufacturing.

These patents ensure that Autrion isn’t just a product - it’s a protected innovation, paving the way for the future of footwear.

FAQ:

What is 3D printing?

3D printing is like drawing in 3D with plastic instead of ink. It builds your shoes layer by layer from a single material — no glue, no stitching. We use our own advanced printing process to get the best results.

Are 3D Printed shoes comfortable?

Yes! Autrion’s 3D printed shoes use our lattice cushioning system for amazing pressure distribution and support right where your foot needs it. They’re super comfortable, and the cushion lasts longer than traditional foam sneakers.

Are 3D-printed shoes durable?

Yes! Our 3D-printed shoes are super strong and flexible. We’ve tested them by bending them over 200,000 times and they still hold up. There’s no glue or stitching to fall apart, so they can last even longer than regular shoes.

Do all 3D-printed shoes feel the same?

Nope! Different 3D-printed shoes can use different structures, processes, and materials. Some feel stiff, while others are soft and springy. Ours are tuned for the perfect mix of comfort and support.

How do you clean them?

You can toss them in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, or rinse them off with soap and water. They’re super easy to keep clean!
