< p > users only need to send 3 photos of each foot from different angles to FeetZ.

Then FeetZ uses special software to pform the image into a three-dimensional model, and makes use of new materials and 3D printing technology to create a a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > SizeMe < shoes > /a.

FeetZ promised customers that within 7 days users would get shoes that fit them perfectly.

< /p >

< p > FeetZ founder and CEO Lucy Beard said that the footwear industry is very suitable for the application of 3D printing technology, because every foot of human beings is unique.

3D printing shoes can be customized to the extreme.

< /p >

< p > "many people's feet have problems like this, or one foot is bigger than the other, or it is hard to find the right shoes."

Beard said to CNBC.

"But if you print a shoe specially for that foot, your feet will be very comfortable, so you are not willing to take it off."

< /p >

< p > in the past, wearing a pair of shoes specially tailored for your feet is a luxury. But now 3D printing technology has opened the door to ordinary people.

< /p >

< p > Beard said her company will also design some styles and colors of shoes for users to choose from.

< /p >

< p > some shoemaking enterprises, such as < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > Nike < /a > and new Balance (New Balance), have begun to use 3D printing technology in the development and design of new shoes.

For example, Nike used 3D printing to develop a professional football shoe. The new brand used 3D printing to customize the shoe pin plate to run the sole, so as to enhance the athlete's thrust at every step.

< /p >

< p > however, 3D printing shoes also face material constraints.

Beard says it can only use rubber like materials now. She hopes that more materials will be available in the next two years, which will help to improve their freedom of design.

< /p >

< p > feetZ is expected to start accepting orders for customized 3D printing shoes by the end of this year.

"The price is much cheaper than asking a a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "> designer < /a > to design a pair of shoes for you.

Beard said with a smile.
