Solo

Description

‘Solo’ is a user-centred, customisable bicycle helmet made from parametric designs using SLS additive 3D printing. Based on a 3D scan and an air-permeable mesh structure, it offers optimal fit and safety. The app records preferences such as riding style and colour. Field Driven Ramps control material flow to balance lightness and shock absorption. Manufactured by Protiq from sustainable PA11 derived from castor beans, it is a recyclable alternative to foam. This process-driven project enables customised helmets that encourage wearer behaviour, resulting in greater safety on the road.
