01

3D scanning technologies

Exclusive scanning systems that capture the exact geometry of any part of the body with extremely high dimensional accuracy: the foundation every protection is built on.

02

Engineering and design

A multidisciplinary team of biomedical engineers, orthopaedic specialists and artificial intelligence experts designs each protection on the athlete’s virtual model.

The world’s largest complex dedicated to biomechanics

An athletics track, pitches and courts equipped with technology for the biomechanical analysis of athletes in real match conditions. We measure how you move where it truly matters: competing.

R&D

What makes us unique

Cutting-edge laboratory

We run one of the most advanced 3D printing and additive manufacturing laboratories in the world.

+10,000 legs scanned

The largest database in the sector, combined with artificial intelligence to achieve a precise fit.

Finite element analysis

We virtually simulate how each protection behaves according to geometry, weight and dynamics. A system unique in the world.

High-modulus carbon fibre

The material used in Formula 1 chassis and the military industry, combined with Kevlar: lightness and maximum impact absorption.
