HEXR
HEXR is changing the way head protection is made. It is developing the first custom made helmet using 3D printing, making it safer and a perfect fit. By understanding the wearers head shape, a novel energy absorbing structure is optimised to significantly improve the performance and safety compared to current foam helmets. The algorithms used todevelop the helmet structure are based on numerous patents developed at the University of Oxford. Each helmet is designed to fit the rider to reduce the size of the helmet whilst ensuring that it fits perfectly around the head.
