Certor Sports Partners With XO Armor to Add Custom 3D Capability to Their Premier Product Line

Advancing Technology in Athletic Protective Gear

AUBURN, AL / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / Certor Sports, a leading brand in athletic safety and performance, and XO Armor Technologies, a pioneer in custom-fit, 3D printed protective gear, are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership. This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in sports protection, as Certor Sports will license XO Armor's state-of-the-art technology to manufacture personalized, wearable guards for athletes across the nation.

A New Era of Protection

Across industries, additive manufacturing has enabled companies to provide customer-specific products at less cost. XO Armor is the prime example in the realm of athlete protection. The partnership between XO Armor and Certor Sports sets a new standard in athletic protection by combining XO Armor's innovative 3D scanning and manufacturing technology with Certor's commitment to empowering athletes. Certor is the parent company to VICIS, Schutt, and TUCCI, three brands all focused on athlete protection. Initially, Certor's VICIS brand will utilize XO Armor's technology to create custom-fit rib guards specifically designed for quarterbacks, which pairs well alongside their first of its kind QB specific ZERO2 helmet.

Following the launch of the rib guards, Certor plans to expand its product line to include additional protective gear for football and baseball athletes through their VICIS and TUCCI brands. This expansion will ensure that a broader range of athletes can benefit from the advancements brought forth by this collaboration.

Unmatched Engineering and Performance

XO Armor's custom-fit guards are known for their lightweight design, durability, and engineered strength. The 3D printed technology allows for precise fitting, ensuring that each guard conforms perfectly to the athlete's body. This results in enhanced mobility and comfort, crucial for peak performance on the field and elevated post-injury healing.

"Our partnership with Certor Sports aligns perfectly with our mission to provide athletes with the best possible protection without compromising on performance," said Joe Bingold, CEO of XO Armor Technologies. "By combining our technology with Certor's expertise in athletic gear, we are setting a new benchmark for what athletes can expect from their protective equipment."
