Oechsler takes on the optimization of football helmets in cooperation with Riddell. For safety in sports, the football helmets are optimized by using 3D printing to improve the protective effect. In this process, a 3D printed grid structure replaces damping elements made of foam. The helmets are produced on Carbon equipment.
The printed grid structure allows a customization and improvement of the protective effect as well as the decrease of weight.
