GoEngineer | Designing the Perfect Fireman's Helmet with Scanning, 3D printing & MODSIM | SAUC 2025

Abstract

Safety first! In this presentation we will discuss the process we used to create the absolute perfect individualized firefighter helmet. 3DEXPERIENCE enables us to take 3D scan data, reverse engineer the helmet with CATIA, and use Abaqus/Explicit simulation solver with design optimization to create the perfect fitting lightweight and robust lattice structure to maximize safety and durability. Once we have the design, we can 3Dprint the helmets, further expanding our customization. Come see how 3DEXPERIENCE tools enabled this amazing project!
