1. Honeycomb Structure ≠ Porous Material

Many people confuse two very different things:

A. Porous Materials (the bad kind)

“Porous” means microscopic holes inside the material, like foam.
These materials:

• absorb water

• retain sweat

• trap dirt

• develop odors

• degrade faster

This is not suitable for high-performance footwear.

2. Printmorrow’s Material: Dense, Non-Porous, Internationally Certified

Our high-performance polymer is certified by:

• SGS

• REACH

• RoHS

Material characteristics:

• high density

• non-absorbent

• sweat-resistant

• odor-resistant

• easy to clean

• durable and stable

The honeycomb pattern is just the exterior structure.
There are no internal micro-pores that can store sweat or bacteria.

3. Why Honeycomb Is a Gold-Standard Footwear Structure

Honeycomb structures are widely used in aerospace, helmets, and sports equipment because they offer:

✔ Natural shock absorption

Cells compress and rebound smoothly, providing soft yet stable cushioning.

✔ Lightweight performance

Material is used only where needed.

✔ Ventilation without moisture absorption

Airflow comes from structure, not from absorbent fabrics.

✔ Zoned support

3D printing allows soft, firm, and flexible regions in a single piece.

✔ One-piece durability

No glue, no seams, no weak points.

4. What Consumers Actually Feel

• No odor: non-porous material doesn’t trap bacteria

• More hygienic: no sweat absorption

• Easy cleaning: rinse and go

• Longer-lasting cushioning: structure outperforms foam

• Lightweight comfort: less weight, more bounce

This is what happens when structure and material work together correctly.

5. Printmorrow’s Design Philosophy

We don’t use 3D printing as a novelty—we use it as real engineering.

Material = Integrity
Structure = Performance

With:

• a non-porous, high-performance polymer

• a precisely engineered honeycomb structure

Our footwear becomes

• cleaner

• stronger

• lighter

• more durable

• more comfortable

This is innovation that improves real, everyday life.

A honeycomb pattern does not mean a porous material.
It represents the combination of intelligent structural design and a high-density, nonabsorbent polymer.

Printmorrow is leading the shift from “futuristic-looking footwear” to truly practical, long-lasting engineering.
