Design 4 Plastics Bring Ski Training Aid to Life
Design 4 Plastics helped start-up company SkiA develop their launch product from an initial idea for a “dry-land” based ski training aid to a production reality.
The trainers fit onto all sizes of ski boot and help users learn essential balance skills that improve turning efficiency and develop better skiing technique. They include a series of different sized balance blocks that provide increasingly difficult challenges to teach perfect posture, promote dynamic movement and guide centred pivoting.
The foot plate component design cleverly combines a rigid platform with flexible sections that adjust to the shape of any boot.
Design 4 Plastics developed the design from initial concepts, through test rigs and fully detailed 3D CAD models, to working SLS prototypes for extensive performance testing. They designed the product packaging and sourced, supplied, and managed manufacture of the production tooling and finished boxed products from their network of partners.
SkiA’s company founder commented:
“Design 4 Plastics have been absolutely integral to the development of our first product. Quite simply, the SkiA Sweetspot Trainer would not have happened without them”
