Upper + Tooling
After accidentaly discovering that a single layer of 3D printed TPU can act similarly to fabric, I decided to explore this idea deliberately, experimenting with different print patterns and their unique characteristics. I found that two layers of the material can be adhered using heat and pressure to create more rigidity.
