Motorcycle helmet design usually doesn’t pop to mind when you are talking about digital twins. But then, you haven\u2019t met Alexander de Vos van Steenwijk and his team at Lazer Helmets in Belgium.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the oldest helmet manufacturers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lazer Helmets is one of the oldest helmet manufacturers in the world. With roots in the leather goods industry, the Belgian company began to make leather sport caps over 100 years ago. Of course, many more innovative designs followed. This included the first aluminium helmets in 1948 and the first full-faced helmets in 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative design & engineering<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today, Lazer Helmets is known for its dedication to technical innovation and advanced engineering. (As proven by their award-winning technology, SuperSkin\u00ae protection, for example.) With a strong reputation for safety as well, it is not surprising that Lazer Helmets are worn by adventure seekers<\/a> from around the world. (This includes the Belgian and Nigerian national bobsled teams, btw.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helmet design and digital twins?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

All that being said, can designing a helmet really be that hard? It turns out it involves much more than just a few sketches to get to the final prototype… (View the movie here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
