3D printing that actually makes a difference
When Plasmics was founded in Vienna in 2018, it was driven by a clear belief: 3D printing has far more potential than it's often given credit for – especially in industrial and medical contexts. Founder Konrad Schreiner set out to prove that the technology could do more than just build prototypes and design pieces.
Today, the team develops highly precise, digitally controlled production solutions that work in everyday practice – not just in labs. The current focus lies in orthopaedics: with Feetneeds, Plasmics has created a platform that allows professionals to digitally design and directly 3D print customised insoles.
Getting there took plenty of fine-tuning. Creating new technology is one thing – making it simple enough to be used in daily workshop routines is a whole different challenge.
Between prototype and practice
From the very beginning, Plasmics wasn’t just interested in building exciting tech – they wanted a solution that actually works in real, day-to-day settings. Feetneeds is built for workshops where things need to move quickly, and for professionals who don’t have time to wrestle with complicated new software.
So the team focused heavily on one question: how do you make the entire process – from foot scan to finished insole – as straightforward as possible? The result is a platform that requires no technical background, yet delivers professional-level results. Today, both small orthopaedic practices and larger workshops rely on the system – because it scales with them, and just works.
Getting it to market wasn’t easy. The industry is rooted in tradition, and new ideas are often met with scepticism. But Feetneeds won people over – by being faster, more consistent and more efficient.
Thanks to seamless integration between Quivo and their Shopify system, the logistics side runs smoothly too – without the usual headaches.
Konrad
Founder & CEO
"Due to growing demand and the need for a fast and reliable supply chain, we decided to outsource our logistics. This allows us to focus on our core strengths – developing and refining our technology – while a professional partner handles warehousing and shipping efficiently."
Logistics that run smoothly
As Plasmics grew, one question became clear: how do you organise logistics so it doesn’t slow everything down? The team decided to outsource shipping – and looked for a partner that could be flexible, reliable, and integrate smoothly with their existing workflows.
That’s how the collaboration with Quivo began. One of the biggest advantages: direct integration with their system, automated restocking of consumables, and effortless handling of international shipments – customs documents included.
A team member puts it simply: “We used to create shipping labels manually and retype addresses all the time. Now it all runs in the background – and saves us a huge amount of time.” With DHL pickups, saved address books, and automated processes through Shopify, logistics is now just one part of the system that works reliably. Which is exactly how it should be.
Made to measure at the push of a button
At the heart of it all is still Feetneeds. The platform enables the fast, customised and cost-effective production of orthopaedic insoles – with a fully digital workflow from scan to print.
What sets Feetneeds apart is its mix of intuitive handling, professional results, and flexible business models. Whether you’re printing occasionally or in high volumes every day – it’s all easy to set up and scale.

What comes next?
There’s no such thing as standing still at Plasmics. The team is continuously working to make their printing technology even more efficient, integrate new materials, and further connect the platform – so that ordering, logistics and production flow together as seamlessly as possible.
They’re also expanding their reach: growth across Europe is well underway, and the US is next on the map. The goal is to be present wherever customised insoles are needed – quickly, reliably and without detours. And we at Quivo are ready to support them every step of the way.
