Within four months, two interdisciplinary teams from the EuroTeQ Engineering University alliance have worked on reinventing and designing products using the potential of Additive Manufacturing. Following this open approach, one team came up with creating a customizable footwear for medical needs, which effectively closes the gap between the aesthetic design of sneakers, and the medical function of orthopedic shoes. The other team explored the… [read more]
