HP introduced new products from portable computers to printers at its Imagine 2023 event today. The company, which has taken important steps in 3D printing technologies, also announced the Brooks Exhilarate-BlueLine model, a 3D shoe produced with sports equipment manufacturer Brooks Running.
The most advanced running shoe from HP: Brooks Exhilarate-BlueLine
Brooks Running has introduced “the most advanced running shoe to date” developed with HP’s 3D printing technology. The Brooks Exhilarate-BlueLine model has a 3D printed sole created using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology.
Initial tests by HP show that the 3D printed sole delivers 90 percent higher energy return. This allows athletes to run more efficiently and get more thrust with every step.
Brooks Running was also able to customize the sole design for specific shoe sizes using athlete data. This means that depending on the height and weight of the athlete, it can deliver an optimal personalized running experience.
At the event, it was stated that HP and Brooks Running are working together on sustainability. Accordingly, Brooks Manager Nikhil Jain stated that 3D printing allows using less material in production.
