The Science Behind Easy-to-Clean 3D Printed Materials

1. Non-Porous Surface: Dirt Can’t Get In

Conventional materials—fabrics, foams, meshes—are full of microscopic pores and fibers.
These tiny gaps trap dust, sweat, and bacteria, causing shoes to get dirty quickly and stay dirty.

Printmorrow’s high-performance polymer is completely different:

  • No pores

  • No fibers

  • No absorbent layers

Dirt stays on the surface instead of sinking in.
A quick rinse is all it takes to restore the shoe to its original clean state.

2. Hydrophobic Material: Water Cleans Instead of Sticks

The polymer used in Printmorrow footwear is naturally hydrophobic.
It repels water rather than absorbing it.

This creates three major advantages:

  • Water beads up and rolls off

  • Sweat can’t penetrate

  • Mud and dust can’t bond to the shoe

Even after walking through puddles or dirt, a simple rinse is enough to make the shoe look brand new.

3. Certified Clean, Safe, and Chemical-Free

Easy cleaning is not just a convenience — it’s a health benefit.

Printmorrow’s materials pass strict European standards:

✔ RoHS Certified
No heavy metals, no phthalates, no toxic residues.
All results tested ND (Not Detected).

✔ REACH Compliant
No SVHC substances — meaning long-term skin contact is safe.

With no harmful additives, the polymer won’t release sticky oils, discolor over time, or absorb dirt like rubber or foam.

4. One-Piece Structure Means No Hidden Dirt

Traditional shoes collect dirt in:

  • stitching

  • glue lines

  • gaps between layers

  • porous foam midsoles

Printmorrow shoes are 3D printed as a single solid piece, leaving no space for dirt to hide.

Fewer seams → fewer crevices → faster, easier cleaning.

5. Built for Modern, Fast-Paced Living

Because the entire shoe is waterproof, hydrophobic, and non-porous:

  • It washes clean in seconds

  • It dries instantly

  • It stays odor-free

  • It maintains its shape over time

For travel, gyms, everyday commuting, outdoor activities, or busy city life, an easy-to-clean shoe simply makes life simpler.3D printed shoe being rinsed under running water, with hydrophobic surface causing water to slide off.

6. Why This Matters — and Why Printmorrow Exists

Most people know 3D printing as “interesting technology.”
Few have experienced it as a true daily-life solution.

Printmorrow exists to change that.

We believe 3D printing should make everyday living smoother —
starting with the shoes you wear, clean, and rely on every day.

Easy to clean is not just a feature.
It’s a philosophy:
Technology should make life lighter, simpler, and more effortless.

And Printmorrow is here to bring that future directly to your feet.
