How we make things matters

HILOS turns ideas into reality

Our principals

Performance

Inset into our 3D printed platforms is a woven mesh of lattice that acts as a dynamic form of supportive cushion. Complex curvatures across multiple axes shape the footbed as a cradle for the foot, taking full advantage of generative design and additive technology. The end result is a soft, springy footbed with a flexible platform that cradles each step. Internal geometries leverage architectural structures to absorb impact and ultimately reduce wear on the shoe itself.

On-Demand

Digital manufacturing thrives on personalization, enabling the industry to offer more sizes and styles without ever worrying about overproducing or running out of stock. On-demand is unlocking new levels of accessibility and entirely new business models in our industry.

Recyclable

We combine the traditional insole, midsole, & outsole of a shoe into a single 3D-printed and recyclable performance material. Instead of traditional layered constructions which cement different materials together, making it difficult to recycle at end of life, we use a single material and design for disassembly, allowing for recycling the component parts so that they never end up in a landfill.
