Problem Statement
Concept For Prototyping
Initial Prototyping
Custom Fit Through 3D Scanning: 3D scanning was used to capture precise hand measurements while gripping a handcycle crank. This ensured a glove that's both secure and comfortable.
3D-Printed Grip Boost: A 3D-printed grip assist was designed and integrated into the prototype. It's all about enhancing grip strength and protecting those fingers.
Testing and Refining: The 3D scanning and printing allowed for ongoing design tweaks. Feedback from athletes helped shape the design for optimal performance.
