About Protect3D

Led by former college athletes, we believe that having the right teammates is critical as we build PROTECT3D to impact athletes and patients everywhere.

As featured in

custom recovery solutions through 3D technology, for rugby players

We’ve been where you are.

As former college athletes, we struggled with injuries—and the bulky, uncomfortable braces that came with them. Getting back on the field was hard enough; outdated equipment only made it worse.

So we decided to do something about it. We combined our love for sports, a deep understanding of biomechanics, and cutting-edge 3D printing to create braces that actually fit, feel good, and help you move. What started as a way to help our teammates is now helping athletes, patients, and providers across the country.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver faster, smarter, and truly custom recovery solutions through 3D technology—because one-size-fits-all doesn’t fit anymore, and every body deserves personalized healing.

Who We Work With

We’re proud to support a wide range of people and teams:

Athletic trainers and clinicians seeking better patient tools

We’re trusted by 100+ NCAA, NFL, & pro teams nationwide

NFL
NCAA
WNBA
NBA
NHL
