The Saints’ 3D-Printed Playbook

The New Orleans Saints are leveling up their gear game by using a Bambu X1 Carbon and XO Armor software to 3D-print custom padding in PLA, PETG and TPU, giving each player a perfectly tailored fit in record time. It’s a slick example of how pro sports teams can harness rapid prototyping for better protection and comfort on the field.

This project was featured on 3D Printing Nerd Studios with Joel Telling, who also shares all the juicy links to XO Armor, Saints staffer John Baumgartner, plus a bunch of affiliate hookups—PCBWay discounts, merch, Patreon and more—for anyone looking to dive into their own 3D-printing adventures.
