3D LATTICE

The Power of 3D Lattice

Revolutionizing the world of ice hockey equipment, 3D lattice printing has been employed in the design of helmet liners with exceptional results. As an innovative method of improving player safety and comfort, the lattice structures in the liners ensure custom-fit and lightweight construction, allowing for top-notch impact absorption and ventilation. With the incorporation of advanced 3D printing technology, these liners are specifically tailored to individuals' head shapes, offering unparalleled protection in high-impact situations. By utilizing 3D lattice printing, the ice hockey industry has seen unprecedented improvements in head protection, adaptability, and airflow, establishing a new benchmark for elite safety and performance.

D3O Material - The Core of Protection

D3O represents a major breakthrough in the field of impact protection, offering exceptional flexibility and extraordinary energy absorption properties. This cutting-edge material remains soft and malleable under normal situations, yet instantaneously loses its pliability upon impact, enabling efficient energy dispersion to minimize injury risk. D3O's versatility is evident in its ability to seamlessly conform to ice hockey helmets, delivering top-tier impact resistance. Alongside this, other non-Newtonian fluid-based materials offer similar levels of impact absorption, catering to diverse needs within the protective gear industry. With their remarkable energy-absorbing capabilities, these materials have redefined the standards for safety and protection in challenging physical environments such as those found in ice hockey.

GY-PH884D vs. Traditional Helmets

  D3O Alternative +Liner3D Lattice Printing   Traditional Helmet Liner
Performance: Enhanced energy distribution during impacts: The lattice structures of 3D lattice printing liners go beyond mere impact absorption; they are engineered to disperse the energy generated by collisions more uniformly across the helmet. Rather than having all the force concentrated in one area, the energy is spread out and diffused, reducing the likelihood of localized injuries. This cutting-edge approach to impact resistance in helmets ensures that the safety benefits are maximized and distributed evenly.
VS Insufficient ventilation and heat dissipation: The lack of ventilation and heat dissipation in foam materials used in helmets can significantly impact player performance during demanding gameplay. Foam materials are recognized for their limited breathability, leading to discomfort, excessive sweating, and unpleasant odors. This deficit in ventilation can have a detrimental effect on not only the player's comfort but also their ability to perform at their best, particularly in intense and fast-paced games.
Weight: Reduction in weight without compromising safety: By using 3D lattice printing technology, manufacturers can create helmets that are not only lighter but still maintain the necessary safety standards.Achieving a reduction in weight without compromising safety: Through the utilization of 3D lattice printing technology, manufacturers have the capability to produce helmets that are not only lighter but also uphold the essential safety standards.
Add considerable weight to the helmet: The weight of traditional liners for ice hockey helmets can vary depending on the specific materials used, but they typically consist of foam padding. These foam liners contribute to the overall weight of the helmet, with some traditional liners being relatively heavier compared to advanced materials.Contribute to a significant increase in helmet weight: Foam padding is used in conventional liners for ice hockey helmets, contributing to the overall weight of the helmet. These foam liners can vary in weight based on the materials used, but are generally heavier than advanced materials used in liners. This increase in weight can compromise the athlete's range of motion, limit their agility and performance, and also increase strain on the neck, highlighting the need for lightweight and superior performing materials that can strike a balance between protection and functionality.
Protection Levels: Enhanced impact absorption and protection: 3D lattice printing liner is a game-changer in terms of impact absorption. This innovative technology uses a lattice-like structure to distribute and absorb the force of impacts, reducing the risk of concussions and head injuries.Improved impact absorption and protection: The introduction of 3D lattice printing liners in helmets marks a significant milestone in impact absorption research and safety technology. This revolutionary approach uses a structured lattice design to distribute and absorb the force of high impacts, substantially reducing the risk of head injuries and concussions. The benefits of this cutting-edge technology are paramount, providing athletes from various disciplines with the protection they need to push their boundaries safely and with confidence.   Restricted impact absorption capabilities: The compressibility of foam liners poses a significant challenge in maintaining consistent and ongoing protection for athletes engaging in fast-paced and physically demanding sports like ice hockey. The absorption of multiple impacts can ultimately compromise their protective abilities and increase the risk of head injuries. This limitation in foam liners emphasizes the need for more innovative and superior technology in the development of advanced helmet liner materials that prioritize both athlete safety and performance.
