#126 HILOS Chief Creative Gaia Giladi on delivering sustainable footwear with 3D printing

Our latest guest on the Additive Insight podcast is Gaia Giladi, co-founder and Chief Creative of sustainable footwear brand HILOS. HILOS has come to market with a series of footwear products manufactured through an on-demand, circular process that limits inventory and waste. Enabling this more sustainable manufacture of footwear is 3D printing technology, with solutions from HP and BASF being leaned on. Throughout our conversation, Gaia explains how HILOS came to be, what the combination of 3D printing and computational design allows her team to achieve, and assesses the materials available for 3D printing today. She also provides insights on the company’s supply chain and how HILOS products can be recycled after use.
