Take the benefits of customization and rapid production with FFF and apply it to footwear with our materials. Create flexible and personalized footwear with Caverna ST.

Imagine a world where you no longer guess at which size shoe actually fits. You just simply upload your measurements and the perfect shoe is created for you. With Caverna ST, that dream is now ready to become a reality.

Customize hardness, softness, and flexibility.

Fine-tune how hard or soft a mid- or in-sole is to create the ideal shoe for foot size, weight, function, or health condition. With FFF, you can also use our materials to build in a structure that provides further flexibility.

Extend the life of shoes and reduce overall waste.

No longer buy a new pair of shoes once they wear out. Instead, Caverna ST enables you to print replacement mid- or in-soles with FFF methods, which are cheaper than traditional mid- or in-soles.

Low barrier to entry.

High-quality materials such as Caverna ST available on low-cost printers make soft touch filaments an attractive space for footwear investors to pursue.
