Traditional protective gear often involves a trade-off between rigidity, weight, and comfort. For high-performance motocross, achieving strong impact protection while maintaining flexibility and ergonomic fit is critical.
By integrating lattice structures generated through parametric design and produced with additive manufacturing, the project enabled a lightweight protection system capable of distributing impact forces efficiently while adapting precisely to the rider’s body.
Dayna Shields demonstrates how computational design and additive manufacturing can redefine protective equipment by turning geometry into a functional material.
Through lattice-based structures, the project shows how advanced fabrication techniques can unlock a new generation of lightweight, high-performance safety solutions for extreme sports.
