Case study: 30% lighter helmet components, no mould required

Up to €150,000 in tooling and three months of waiting before the first part: that is the cost of injection moulding for helmet components. Pollen AM and RHEON Labs tested another route: 3D printing directly from pellets. This case study details the approach, the print settings and the impact test results.

What’s inside the case study (8 pages):

• Impact test results from RHEON Labs, 3D-printed vs injection-moulded parts
• The print profile validated on the Pam Pro
• Mechanical properties of the RHEON™ P3D 001 material
• How the lattice is tuned zone by zone to control the impact response
• Target applications beyond American football: motorcycle, cycling, defence.
