Conventional wisdom would suggest that the 3D printing materials market is going to be directly tied to the 3D printing hardware market. As the rate of 3D printers sold every year continues to increase, so too should the materials used by those printers grow at a similar rate.

Customization + 3D Printed Shoes

Although it has a 3-D-printed midsole, UA's Architech still shows how far away we are from customizable footwear for all.
ELSE.Corp's insight:
Companies like Under Armour don't expect 3-D printing to make consumer footwear cheaper. In fact, the opposite is probably true: 3-D printing will likely open up whole new avenues for footwear companies to profit.
"I don't think we see 3-D printing as lowering the cost [of footwear], so much as changing the financial model," Lindgren says. After all, wouldn't you pay more for a pair of sneakers as custom-tailored to you as a pair of Nikes are to LeBron James?
