About the solution
‘I racked my brain for a while trying to come up with an object that was interesting and maybe held potential to be turned into something more,’ the student said. ‘Then later, at track practice, my coach suggested trying to scan one of the handmade gloves we use to race.’
The costs are very low at around $4 per glove, a far cry from the original $350. ‘The replicability is probably the greatest benefit here though. The fact that you could print multiple pairs of gloves for different weather conditions could be a huge advantage when racing. Some of the world’s best athletes lose important races because they weren’t prepared for the conditions, whether it was rain, humidity, or even snow,’ Arielle writes. The next step is therefore to get everyone on the Illinois racing team their own custom made 3D printed gloves, while they are even looking into business options for racers. It just goes to show what can be achieved with a 3D scanner and a 3D printer.
