PollyFab at TCT Asia 2025: Redefining Recovery Shoes with 3D Printing

In May 2025, the TCT Asia 3D Printing Exhibition concluded successfully at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. As one of the most influential additive manufacturing events in the world, the show gathered leading-edge technologies and breakthrough applications.

This year, PollyFab made its debut, showcasing our next-generation 3D printed recovery shoes, designed to merge advanced materials, lattice engineering, and innovative cushioning systems. Our booth quickly became a highlight of the footwear application area, attracting professionals, media, and footwear enthusiasts from around the globe.

Material Innovation: ELASTO 1000 BIO

At the heart of PollyFab recovery shoes lies ELASTO 1000 BIO, a cutting-edge bio-based material engineered for both sustainability and high performance.

250% elongation ensures exceptional durability and flexibility under stress.
Bio-based and eco-conscious, lowering carbon footprint compared to traditional EVA or TPU.
Quick-dry and breathable, keeping feet comfortable during extended wear.

This material foundation allows PollyFab 3D printed shoes to combine eco-responsibility with next-level performance.

Lattice Midsole Craftsmanship

The midsole of PollyFab recovery shoes is designed using 3D printed lattice structures — an approach that redefines how cushioning and support are delivered.

Featherlight comfort through hollow geometric structures.
Targeted cushioning zones: different lattice densities provide precise shock absorption and stability.
Enhanced durability by evenly distributing pressure, reducing long-term deformation.

This lattice midsole technology makes every step smoother, lighter, and more adaptive.

Hyper Air Cushioning System: 86% Energy Return

PollyFab’s proprietary Hyper Air Cushioning System pushes the limits of rebound and comfort:

86% energy return, delivering responsive feedback with every stride.
Long-lasting cushioning to reduce fatigue during recovery or all-day wear.
Five core traits: Light, Springy, Resilient, Breathable, Quick-dry.

With this system, PollyFab 3D printed recovery shoes bridge the gap between sports recovery gear and stylish everyday footwear.

Design Aesthetics: Inspired by Nature, Shaped by the Future

We believe footwear should not only perform well but also look exceptional.

Natural Coral Color pays homage to marine ecosystems, symbolizing vitality and sustainability.
Ultra-streamlined silhouette reflects a futuristic yet minimal design philosophy.
Lifestyle versatility: engineered for post-workout recovery, yet stylish enough for everyday wear.

The result is footwear that blends performance engineering with modern lifestyle design.
