全球信息技术公司生命值与之合作Oakley这是一家总部位于加利福尼亚的体育品牌，可在Oakley的产品组合中创建3D印刷原型和功能零件。
Using Multi Jet Fusion, Oakley is reducing the product development stages of its eyewear selection as well as other athletic equipment. Nicolas Garfias, Head of Design at Oakley, explained:
“全球世界一流的运动员依靠奥克利（Oakley）在最高水平上竞争。借助惠普的突破性3D打印技术，我们不仅将加速设计到生产时间表，而且我们还将重新概念化产品的制造方式，从而将运动性能的界限推向新的高度。”
3D打印和眼镜
Founded in 1975, Oakley, a subsidiary of leading eyewear卢森蒂卡, began integrating 3D printing into its design methodology in 1992 to create the Eye Jacket sunglasses. According to the company, additive manufacturing transformed its development process as well as the silhouette of its sunglasses.
As of 2018, the company has been utilizing生命值’s Multi Jet Fusionfor rapid prototyping across multiple product lines, including sunglasses, helmets, and trophies. “Oakley has the highest of design standards, and our innovative 3D printing technology helps them deliver on that experience for millions of athletes around the world,” said Jeff Fawcett, 3D Printing Product Management at HP Inc. “Together, we are transforming the sports performance community and changing the way the world designs and manufactures consumer products.”
Rapid prototyping with HP
具体来说，奥克利正在使用HP喷气融合580增材制造系统可以加快设计迭代过程，因为设计师可以在一天内制造和测试颜色协调的零件。这个过程通常需要两到三周。580也能够roducing full-color functional parts while maintaining optimal mechanical properties.
This system is said to print complex components in a fraction of the time when compared to plastic FDM/FFF, SLA, and material jetting solutions. It uses HP 3D High Reusability CB PA 12, a polymer designed to be recycled for further use.
增材制造加速运动性能
增材制造已被整合到运动器材中，以提高运动性能。今年早些时候，Carbon，基于硅谷的初创公司Digital Light Synthesis(DLS), announced a partnership with American football equipment providerRiddellto develop customized3D printed NFL helmet lining.
Following this, the company began collaborating withfizik，一家总部位于美国的自行车设备制造商，以创建自适应3D打印自行车马鞍. With DLS, Adaptive provides zonal cushioning and improved support and power transfer properties with personalized data from the cyclists.
最近，在9月，GuardLab, a New York-based sports technology brand, also partnered with鲍尔曲棍球, to launch个性化的3D打印扬口.
