A 3D REVOLUTION IS COMInG.
We've united our strengths to tackle the challenges and bring innovative solutions to the sports industry.
ABOUT US
The Kollide team combines the expertise of academic researchers and four innovative Montreal-based companies, each with unique and complementary experiences in 3D-printing, Sports equipment Design, and Validation Testing.
Four separate entities merged as one, and geared toward a singular vision: taking innovation, high-end research methods, and scientific evidence to create the best sports equipment possible.
OUR PARTNERS
We are proud partners of ETS and MEDTEQ+, and are recipients of the HeadHealthTech Helmet Challenge Fund.

OPTIMIZED LATTICE
Our concept lies in a unique liner made of complex and organic networks of lattice structures optimized for impact absorption.
INNOVATIVE AM MANUFACTURING
AM offers new freedom in architecture and expands the range of possibilities for design, production, and performance of novel architectural forms.
FINE-TUNED DIRECTIONAL BEHAVIOR
Our structure has an anisotropic mechanical behavior with different responses under different directions, optimized for linear and rotational impact absorption.
PERFECT FIT
Through our automated customization software, the helmets will be perfectly fitted to the player's head, allowing for maximum comfort and protection.
VIRTUAL TESTING
Our laboratory offers virtual testing using finite element methods to compare a very large number of helmets designs and accelerate the optimization of protective structures.
HELMET CHALLENGE
The NFL Helmet Challenge is an innovation challenge that aims to stimulate the development by experts, innovators and helmet manufacturers of a new helmet for professional players that outperforms, based on laboratory testing, all helmets currently worn by NFL players.
THE KOLLIDE HELMET
Produce the most advanced, outperforming, and safest football helmet in the world? Challenge accepted.
