Reinforce 3D, the pioneer in Continuous Fiber Injection Process (CFIP) technology for end-use parts, has announced a strategic alliance with Bauer Hockey, LLC – a world leader in high-performance sports equipment. This groundbreaking partnership, which also involves Cascade/Maverik Lacrosse, is set to transform sports equipment manufacturing by integrating CFIP technology to enhance both strength and weight efficiency.
A strategic partnership for next-generation performance
At the heart of this collaboration is a shared vision: to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sports equipment. By leveraging CFIP technology, Reinforce 3D will enable Bauer Hockey and Cascade/Maverik Lacrosse to develop products that offer superior performance through optimized structural reinforcement. The process, which injects continuous carbon fibers into key components, ensures enhanced durability and lightweight construction—critical factors for high-performance athletic gear.
The integration of CFIP technology represents a significant leap forward for sports equipment design:
- Enhanced strength and durability: CFIP optimizes part strength without compromising integrity or adding unnecessary weight.
- Weight reduction: By utilizing CFIP technology, dramatically reduces the overall weight of components, providing athletes with a competitive edge.
- Innovation in design: The collaboration paves the way for new product lines that blend advanced manufacturing techniques with cutting-edge design, setting a new industry benchmark for performance and safety.
Blanca Garro, CEO of Reinforce 3D, emphasized that: «our mission has always been to elevate any part to a new level of superior performance. Partnering with Bauer Hockey, a leader in sports innovation, allows us to showcase the true potential of our CFIP technology and 360° solution in high-performance applications.»
On the other hand, Bauer’s Director of Advanced Product Development, Mathieu Ducharme, added that: «Bauer has always been at the forefront of innovation in sports equipment. This partnership with Reinforce 3D empowers us to continue offering cutting-edge products that enhance both athlete performance and safety.»
Looking ahead: a new era in sports equipment
With plans to launch a new line of CFIP-optimized products in the coming months, this partnership is set to redefine standards in industries such as hockey and lacrosse. By merging Reinforce 3D’s advanced reinforcement solutions with Bauer Hockey’s expertise in high-performance sports equipment, the collaboration is poised to deliver products that are both stronger and lighter—ultimately pushing the limits of athletic performance.
Reinforce 3D’s commitment to innovation and excellence continues to drive transformative changes in industrial manufacturing. Stay tuned as we roll out our new CFIP-enhanced sports equipment range and join us on this journey toward a future where performance meets precision.
