3D arch supports for sports people

Cooperative profile

3D-4UMAN designs and models, using 3D technology, to create first a virtual product and then produce the physical object. The cooperative would like to apply the 3D approach to different fields, from medical industry to architecture.
The starting product of the cooperative is an arch support (personalized and printed in 3D) designed to meet the needs of people playing sports that may cause physical injuries, which can be reduced using the right arch support. The objective of the cooperative is to make something useful both for beginners, wanting to be more confident in adopting the right movements, and for professionals, eager to achieve a better performance.
A personalized prototype is designed to meet the needs of each person and to minimize the risk of bad postural problems. The arch support aims at balancing the morphological and physical foot features taking into account not only the person’s height and weight but also the characteristics of the sport and the role played.

Target market

The cooperative’s target market is that of sporting wear. They aim at different sport players (football, basketball and volleyball players) building an anatomically shaped arch support able to make the sports people more comfortable and to achieve a better performance. Two quality standards are available – a cheaper basic model and a more advanced and expensive one.

Founders

The cooperative is made up of four members – a bio-mechanic engineer, a biomedical engineer, an architect and a student of architecture.
