Sustainable footwear from the 3D printer | With URBNC3, you get customized sandals based on the latest 3D technologies. Simply scan your feet with your smartphone. To optimize the ecological footprint, materials such as cactus or apple leather and water-soluble glues are used, which are bio-based and industrially compostable. Worn-out shoes are taken back for recycling and upcycling of the components. URBNC3 is one of the first commercial providers to 3D print shoe soles from bio-based raw materials.
