3D printing custom insoles is a hot topic at the moment and there’s an innovative UK-based startup taking a totally different approach. Their new mobile app allows retailers to capture scans in seconds, customise insole build and upload for a rapid one week turnaround. And all at zero cost to the retailer. Want to learn more about Solemate? Read on.
Solemate is a manufacturer of premium custom insoles and has just released a brand new app that quickly and conveniently captures foot scans. The exact foot shape is then used to create a full-contact insole design for 3D printing. Throughout development Solemate has listened to bootfitters and put together a package offering extensive customisation and exceptional product quality, available through a straightforward pay as you go system.
KEY FEATURES:
Zero Upfront Cost
Access to the Solemate software and POS Kit is free of charge; simply download the App and begin 3D scanning new orders. Solemate only charges fees on the orders you take.
1 Week Turnaround
Any insole orders taken in a given week are delivered the next week. Orders are batched into one delivery per week, or can be sent directly to the customer for added convenience.
Premium Foam Feel
Engineered for comfort, Solemate insoles are printed in a foam, providing a soft touch and warm feel with plenty of grip. The insole build is totally configurable within the app including met domes, stiffness, posting, heel lift and much more. Another neat touch is the embossed retailer logo and customer name.
Compact POS Kit
Included in the Solemate retail package is an extensive run of demo insoles that can be used during boot fitting to acquaint the customer with the concept, packaged in a slick flight case with handy tools like their podoscope for precision scanning and density touch-block.
UK-Based Production
A growing business born from the ski industry of Great Britain, Solemate prides itself on producing all insoles in the UK, minimising environmental impacts and lead time.
Sustainability
All insoles are 3D printed using a zero waste method from 100% recyclable TPU. Solemate doesn’t actually offer individual packaging- retail orders are shipped together in postal packaging to reduce material intensity.
