HEXR Glasses
“Create a custom product that is scalable and uses mass production methods using HEXR™’s sub-mm smartphone scanning solution”
HEXR currently uses this technology to 3D print significantly safer and lighter bicycle helmets, which should ideally be accessible to every cyclist; however, the nature of its manufacture results in a high production cost and hence costly price point of £299.
Despite HEXR strongly advising against 3D printing due to it being inappropriate for mass manufacture, I chose to challenge this by only printing a small component of the frame whilst pre-fabricating other parts. Fortunately, HEXR approved of this and gave the project an award - which included the prize of a free helmet!
