Solution

A deep tech startup developing a personalized shoe manufacturing platform that integrates 3D scanning, automated design algorithms, and 3D printing. DIFF.3D—which automatically designs optimal footwear from 3D foot scan data and delivers shoes on demand—is set to launch in June 2026. The platform addresses Japan's approximately 25 million "shoe refugees" who struggle to find well-fitting off-the-shelf footwear, while also pursuing a B2B model as an industry infrastructure for other shoe brands.
