The 3D printed basketball has an upgraded lattice design from the original prototype for more consistent performance and bounce, Wilson says.

The combination of Nexa3D and Addifab freeform injection molding creates a prototype process that lets Wilson fail fast and score more innovative designs.

Materials science and 3D printing collaboration enable mass customization.

The 2021 Olympic Games may be over. However, beneath the gallantry of the games is a patchwork of big and small engineering feats.

Fast Radius, pairing cloud manufacturing with the Carbon DLS process, manufactures new Rawlings glove parts at scale to give players playability across the field, companies report.

NSF-awarded grant to improve the performance of the aerodynamics of luge sleds used by U.S. athletes in national and international competitions.

Team Penske has expanded its use of Fused Deposition Modeling and PolyJet Technologies for prototyping, tooling, fixturing and end-use parts in cars and pit equipment.

No two football players are alike in their style and strategy, according to Carbon and Riddell.

Innovation still continues in the sporting world; this field is somewhat unique as it's an intimate mesh of physics, engineering and biology.
