This summer’s 2018 World Cup ended up with France coming out victories. In relation we met the company Younext, which designs tailored protection devices for sports and more particularly for football. The Spanish company prints 3D customised solutions, whether masks, shin guards or splints, the objective being to improve the performance of the player and allow him or her to play sports safely. The CEO of Younext, Miguel Subirá, explains what 3D technologies they use, what devices they can create today and to what extent 3D printing can be applied to sport .
3DN: Can you tell us about the creation of Younext?
Younext is a subsidiary of Podoactivia, a company specialising in podiatry and biomechanics that now has more than 100 clinics in Spain and is gradually becoming international. Half of our collaborators are chiropodists, about 120 people, and the other half are engineers, physicists, technicians and other profiles more focused on technology, design and personalisation of treatments.
Podoactivia has been working for 10 years with technologies like 3D scanning and robotics to create customized solutions. Younext uses the same philosophy of using new technologies to produce innovative products. The difference is that we wanted to extend it to other parts of the body and take advantage of the experience gained at Podoactivia.
