SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROTOTPYE REFINEMENT AND MANUFACTURE IN 3D PRINTING

摘要

Systems, methods, and media for 3D prototype printing are provided. In one example, a system comprises at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors, configured to store data relating to an item of sports equipment for test use by a user; use one or more sensors to capture data relating to the use of the item of sports equipment by the user; based on the captured data, facilitate identification of a modification to the item of sports equipment to optimize, compensate for, or correct the use of the item of sports equipment by the user; create a 3D digital model of the item of sports equipment based on the identified modification; and transmit data relating to the 3D digital model to a 3D printer to create a further prototype or final version of the item of sports equipment incorporating the identified modification.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing an item of sports equipment for test use by a user; connecting one or more sensors in association with the item of sports equipment to capture data relating to the use of the item of sports equipment by the user; using the one or more sensors to capture the data relating to the use of the item of sports equipment by the user; based on the captured data, identifying a modification to the item of sports equipment to optimize, compensate for, or correct the use of the item of sports equipment by the user; creating, using at least one hardware-implemented computer processor, a 3D digital model of the item of sports equipment based on the identified modification; and printing the 3D digital model using a 3D printer to create a further prototype or final version of the item of sports equipment incorporating the identified modification.
