Biomechanical Testing

Where traditional hip protection is bulky and uncomfortable, we are revolutionizing protection with the latest in 3D Printed Impact Protection technology.

With layers of high performing lattice structures, this impact protection system absorbs and disperses energy by momentarily stiffening on impact. After the fall, the shield is ready for the next impact.

Phoenix Hipwear partnered with impctLAB and Carbon to develop the Phoenix Shield. A comprehensive design and engineering process included extensive testing to ensure the performance requirements.

An example of one of the tests conducted is below. 

The test was conducted by generating force by dropping a weighted anvil to a force plate to determine how much force would be absorbed by the shields.
