TRLUP–The Nexagon

The Nexagon project aims to develop an innovative neck collar designed to help prevent concussions in sports like hockey by reducing rapid head and neck movements during impact. Inspired by natural structures such as the honeycomb, the collar will be lightweight, comfortable, and effective in absorbing and redistributing forces that can cause brain injuries. Using 3D printing and computer-aided design, the team will create and test an improved prototype that combines safety, comfort, and performance. Through this project, Saskatchewan Polytechnic will gain valuable research and development experience in advanced manufacturing and sports safety technologies, strengthening its role as a leader in applied innovation and industry collaboration across Western Canada.
