Discover the Cast Net Slip-ons, a unique approach to 3D-printed footwear inspired by the intricate geometry of fishing nets. This design explores the potential of flexible filaments to create a breathable, stylish, and comfortable slip-on.Now updated to Version 2.0based on community feedback, they offers an even better fit, improved traction and durability.
Inspiration & Design
The journey of the Cast Net Slip-ons began with a simple question: could the complex, quad-based topology of a fishing net be translated into functional, wearable footwear? The core challenge was to develop a printable lattice that was not only visually striking but also inherently flexible and durable when produced with TPU filament.
Through parametric approaches and careful engineering in 3ds Max and TyFlow, the design evolved into a structure that provides controlled stretch and exceptional breathability. The result is a slip-on that balances aesthetics with the unique properties of 3D printing materials.
