Portland's creative economy, outdoor industry cluster, and growing technology sector make it one of the Pacific Northwest's most vibrant markets for 3D printing — from Nike and Adidas footwear prototyping to independent maker studios.
Browse All Portland Services →Portland is home to global footwear and apparel giants Nike (Beaverton), Adidas North America, and Columbia Sportswear — all of which use 3D printing extensively for rapid prototyping of shoes, gear, and accessories. This concentration of consumer product brands has created a strong local ecosystem of prototyping and fabrication services.
