| Abstract: | The initial objective of this research project was to design a 3D printed ski back protector, a product that plays a vital role in ensuring safety during skiing activities. However, as the project unfolded, it became evident that the primary prerequisite for creating any such protective gear is the development of a suitable material or 3D printed structure. This realisation prompted a shift in focus towards the creation of a versatile structure capable of altering its properties based on specific user requirements. By introducing intentional variations in certain qualities, this adaptable structure holds the potential to revolutionise the production of ultra-custom protection products. |
