SBRI Challenge-Enhanced Individual Protective Equipment

This project will employ Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) techniques in order to produce personalised protective body armour solutions with minimum impact on the wearers performance. Additive Manufacturing processes build parts layer-by-layer, directly from a 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model, and differs from conventional manufacturing techniques as it requires no tooling. This facilitates the realisation of design concepts that are typically too expensive, difficult or impossible to create using traditiona...
