New tech in sports? Absolutely.
Can sports equipment be lightweight, durable, and perfectly tailored to the athlete? No doubt – especially when 3D printing and advanced composite materials from New Era Materials come into play.
From idea to prototype – fast.
Why wait weeks for a prototype when you can print one in just a few hours? Whether it’s lightweight gear like protectors, bike frames, or something completely custom – 3D printing gives full freedom to design, test, and iterate quickly.
Using lightweight materials in 3D printing makes it possible to build ultra-light structures, which is a huge advantage – especially in sports, where every gram and every second matters.
Composites on the field (and the track, and the slope…)
Now add composites to the mix – 3D printed carbon or glass fiber structures – and things get really interesting. This combo creates parts that are not just light but seriously strong. Material engineering in 3D printing plays a key role, shaping the performance and quality of the final product.
In practice? It’s already happening. Cyclists use it for lightweight frames and custom accessories, hockey players for ultra-light carbon sticks, and racing teams for aerodynamic composite components. This isn’t theory anymore – it’s real, and it’s happening now.
Every technology has its “superpower”
MJF – ultra-fast and strong, perfect for high-demand parts
SLS – durable prints with no need for support structures
FDM – ideal for solid, functional prototypes
SLA – high-detail and smooth surface finishes
PolyJet (PJ) – perfect for small, high-resolution parts with exceptional surface quality
DMLS – metal printing for parts built to handle extreme loads
Got a bold idea? Let’s bring it to life. 3D printing in sports isn’t just a trend – it’s the future. And we’re here to make it happen.
