The Performance Racing Helmet was commissioned to celebrate Daishin Seikis 50th anniversary. This full face helmet won the gold medal in the prestigious Mori-Seiki Dream Cutting Contest 2009.
This helmet will be on display in the OPEN MIND booth at the IMTS show in Chicago September 13-18, 2010.

I guess I was watching the helmet and missed it I saw how much it weighed when it started and was just curious thanks for the answer.

COOL

So does the machine change the bits automatically or does the operator have to ?

 

[Tomite]

That was neat. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Bob Denman]

All you do is load the machine and take the part out when it's done. :doorag:

What was that machine that used polymer materials to render 3-D copies? I wonder if that technology could be used to fabricate a workable helmet?

 

[Kratos]

WOW....

Search for "rapid prototyping"

7 pounds... :shocked:

Actually, almost 8 pounds. A bit heavy. About twice the weight of the average helmet and it doesn't have the interior added yet. That wouldn't add too much to the weight but still, that helmet is one awesome brick!

Thanks! :2thumbs:

I knew that you'd know where to find it! :bowdown:

It's a display, not to be worn.
