Protection & Testing
“My goal has always been to apply my engineering to help the health and well-being of others, and what better way to employ my expertise than in protecting the most important asset, our heads.”
Impressio.tech is designing advanced materials for advanced protection. Developing a successful technology involves innovative materials, design and manufacturing to create a system that is optimized for specific applications. Our approach has the potential to be used for any helmet technology to improve safety. Novel solutions are essential to make a substantial improvement in the protective capabilities of helmets.
Our LCE technology combined with additive manufacturing provides game changing energy absorption. We tailor our designs to different impacts for better protection and performance.
We can design full liners or individual pads to meet performance specifications, and we have the ability to adapt to user criteria such as integration of equipment (e.g. headsets, cameras), fit and comfort, and breathability.
Our material can withstand multiple impacts making us the solution for sports helmets and equipment. We design safer solutions for football, hockey, bicycle, motorcycle, and more.
“At Impressio.tech, science is at the core of who we are. Every decision is data driven to ensure we make the absolute best products for our customers.”
“To build solutions we must first understand the problem and at Impressio we are concerned with the concussion risk and head injury in players. This drives us to understand the biomechanics of head impacts and strive to derive a solution that preserves the health of athletes.”

Impressio.tech houses multiple impact testing options and has the ability to perform computational modeling to evaluate materials and protective equipment. With everything at our disposal (or in house) we can quickly design, test, evaluate, and iterate allowing us to innovate rapidly. The next novel design starts with testing.
We can simulate the impacts felt on the field with our pneumatic ram.
Our equipment can replicate the testing standards set by the governing bodies for athletic equipment.
Using modeling software like LS-DYNA, we can test the performance of different helmet deigns by tracking effective deformation and impact energy of the pads.
