N2 - This demonstration presents a physical exploration of multilayered 3D printed spacer (3DPS) midsoles for performance running shoes. The demo showcases a collection of mechanically characterized lattice samples alongside a full pair of running shoe midsoles fabricated using the same design and fabrication workflow. Visitors can examine how variations in lattice layer count and fabrication parameters translate from isolated compression-tested specimens into a functional, wearable prototype. By connecting material-level experiments with a complete shoe assembly, the demonstration highlights how spatially tuned stiffness can be achieved using standard FDM equipment and recyclable thermoplastic materials. The exhibited artifacts provide tangible insight into the relationship between computational toolpath design, mechanical performance, and footwear application, emphasizing the accessibility and scalability of the proposed fabrication approach.
