, set out to design 3D-printed shoes to find the perfect pair and ensure maximum comfort. After identifying and testing several materials, they finally turned to additive manufacturing, which offered them more flexibility.The WertelOberfell designers started with an auxetic structure - a structure made with auxetic materials, which have a negative Poisson's ratio, which means that they thicken when stretched, unlike other materials that tend to become thinner.
On the company's website, Auxetic Wear explains the shoe’s design, “The individual pieces are made with a resistant TPU , the auxetic structure is printed, including its reinforcement. They are glued together and then sewn onto the existing sole, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The final design has been refined through many iterations.”
As they explain on their website, Oberfell and Wertel share a strong interest in new technologies and manufacturing processes, and at an early stage in their careers, they discovered the possibilities of computer-aided design.
