The design of the back brace embraces the shape of a butterfly. This design is created using a custom 3D scan of the lower back using the WiDE software. This custom design and fit allows athletes to overcome the discomfort and the conventional, typical back brace.
“Throughout my years as a professional wheelchair fencer, I have been looking for an alternative, and most importantly, sports-appropriate lower back brace to allow me to fence and move freely without any restraints or pain,” says Rožkova. “As the sport puts a lot of strain on the back, I also needed a support that could be replaced easily if it broke during training or competition. I’m ecstatic with the result – not only is the 3D printed back brace visually appealing, but it gives me a level of freedom unparalleled to anything I have ever used before. I feel better equipped than ever to achieve my goals.”
The use for 3D printing has widespread to many fields including medicine, tech, fashion, and many more. Here at 3D Composites, unlimited design possibilities exist with 3D printing. We can help you make them a reality.
