A smarter way to sell
Stop wasting time on manual orders - our native Shopify integration sends your sales straight to our production floor. Once produced, we ship directly to your customer - so you can focus on selling instead of fulfilment.
One-click fulfilment
Shipping from the other side of the world is slow, expensive and carbon-heavy. We produce in Ireland and EU to get products to your customers faster. It’s a leaner supply chain that’s better for you, your customer and the planet.
Local EU production
Traditional footwear retail is a guess. You end up with a backroom full of sizes you can’t shift. On-demand means you only produce what a customer has already paid for. It protects your margins and ends the cycle of overproduction.
Zero-waste inventory
About METIS
METIS is the first fully 3D-printed shoe system designed for circularity, using recyclable materials and a modular construction architecture for repairability and fit. It leverages the core advantages of 3D printing - flexibility, repeatability and on-demand production - to industrialise footwear assembly.
METIS is the foundation of a broader footwear platform where any brand can create a 3D-printed design that looks and feels like a normal pair while leveraging the advantages of additive manufacturing.
METIS launches June 2026.
Start selling high-performance, glue-free shoes on demand - register for WAZP+ today to claim your spot for the June launch.
