Georgia: Reinventing Footwear with 3D Printing

HILOS, led by CEO Elias Stahl, presents Georgia, a groundbreaking 3D-printed high heel shoe that combines the material properties of sneakers with a flexible, 3D-printed platform featuring a digital mesh cushion for support. The design embodies a completely circular product that is 100% recyclable, leveraging 3D printing to celebrate the hand of the maker and reinvent the traditional footwear construction process.

The Georgia project brought together a diverse team, including designer Gaia Giladi, engineer Eric Folsom, footwear biomechanics specialist Vladimir Chvorun, and footwear design advisor Giovanna Cafaro, to overcome technical and creative challenges. The resulting product offers a wider range of sizes due to on-demand 3D printing, with dimensions varying from 21.2 cm to 29.6 cm in length and 7 cm to 11.4 cm in width.

Furthermore, HILOS' innovative approach has been recognized with the Silver A' Design Award in 3D Printed Forms and Products, highlighting the exceptional expertise and innovation demonstrated by the Georgia design.

The Georgia project is underpinned by a patent application for "SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR LASTING AN UPPER TO A 3D PRINTED PLATFORM" (Patent application #63/015,214), with HILOS, INC. as the applicant and Eric Folsom, Gaia Giladi, and Elias Stahl as the inventors.
