GY Sports Revolutionizes Field Hockey Safety with 3D-Printed Lattice Liner in New GY-FM255D Face Mask

2025-10-17

GY Sports, a forward-thinking name in athletic protection, is proud to unveil a groundbreaking advancement in field hockey safety: the GY-FM255D face mask. Engineered for the modern athlete, this mask incorporates a state-of-the-art, 3D-printed lattice structure as its inner liner, setting a new benchmark for impact protection and significantly reducing the risk of concussions and post-impact injuries.


The core of this revolutionary protection lies in the sophisticated, porous design of the 3D-printed lattice. Unlike traditional uniform foam padding, our custom-designed lattice consists of thousands of meticulously engineered microscopic nodes and struts. This complex architecture is the key to its superior performance. Upon receiving an external impact, these lattice units do not simply compress; they undergo a controlled process of ordered deformation and localized collapse. This intelligent action is crucial, as it efficiently absorbs and disperses the kinetic energy from the impact across the entire structure.

This process of energy absorption and force dissipation is the fundamental logic behind the GY-FM255D's protective prowess. By managing the impact force in this way, the lattice liner drastically reduces the peak force—the sudden, sharp spike in g-force—that is transmitted to the player's head. It is this peak force that is a primary cause of traumatic brain injuries, including severe concussions. By cushioning the blow in such a dynamic and efficient manner, the mask minimizes the acceleration and deformation of the skull, thereby directly reducing the potential for brain damage.


At GY Sports, we understand that concussion prevention is a systematic engineering challenge. It requires a holistic approach that considers the robustness of the outer mask shell, the precise fit between the inner liner and the athlete's head, and the variables of impact angle and force. Within this integrated safety system, our 3D-printed lattice liner acts as the critical buffer component. It is the first line of defense, working in tandem with the shell to manage energy. Each of the thousands of nodes in the liner serves as a point to dissipate force, creating a multi-layered web of protection that traditional padding cannot match.

The GY-FM255D is more than just a piece of equipment; it is a commitment to the safety and longevity of field hockey players' careers. With this innovation, athletes can step onto the field with greater confidence, focusing on their performance without compromising on protection.


Key Features of the GY-FM255D Face Mask:

3D-Printed Lattice Liner: Features a complex, porous structure for unmatched energy absorption.

Superior Force Dissipation: Thousands of micro-nodes work in unison to disperse impact forces, reducing peak force transmission to the head.

Targeted Concussion Risk Reduction: Engineered specifically to mitigate the factors that lead to brain injury.

Integrated Safety System: Designed to work harmoniously with a strong outer shell and a secure fit for comprehensive protection.

Lightweight & Comfortable: The 3D-printed design offers maximum protection without adding bulk, ensuring superior comfort and mobility.


Embrace the future of field hockey safety with GY Sports. The GY-FM255D is here to redefine protection.
