3D Printed Mannequins
Lifesize human replicas for next level repeatability

Maximizing Accuracy and Efficiency
in Aerodynamic Evaluation
3D printed mannequins are the perfect solution for aerodynamic testing. Constructed as a 1:1 replica of a specific athlete, they enable highly repeatable and representative measurements that support precise aerodynamic optimisation. Where real athletes are unpredictable and struggle to maintain the same position for hours on end, a life-size replica takes your testing to the next level; producing repeatability not possible with a human.
Flexible Solutions
Our mannequin design draws on over 50 years of combined aerodynamic test and optimisation experience to provide a solution that is flexible in implementation while offering a high level of repeatability.
We understand the need to carry out cost effective testing and offer multiple solutions to fit a range of budgets. As a result, our product is trusted by national cycling teams, UCI world tour teams, cycling journalists and equipment manufacturers such as Vorteq.
Applications
Our custom mannequins are specifically designed for use in a variety of sports including cycling, running and various winter sports. Available in a range of options, ideal for aerodynamic/hydrodynamic assessment.

Sports-Specific Equipment
Mannequin Tiers
We offer various tiers of mannequins, to meet various pricing and functional requirements. We are flexible as everything is custom made, so requirements and functionality can be accommodated.
Customisation Options
Removable Limbs: Streamlines dressing and ensures high repeatability during back-to-back garment testing.
Interchangeable Components: Additional arms, hands or legs allow testing in multiple positions or equipment configurations.
Integrated Helmet: For consistent setup, a printed helmet can reduce variability across a test session.
Cleat Interfaces (Cycling specific): Standard fitment includes Shimano/Look 3-bolt cleat interface. Other options including Speedplay are available upon request.
Key Features
Athlete-Specific Geometry: Derived from a 3D scan to provide an exact replica, ensuring gains translate from mannequin to rider.
Proprietary Precision Joints: Each joint includes bespoke location features to maintain strict alignment across repeated test sessions.
High-Durability Materials: Toughened polymer structure ensures long-term reliability under demanding conditions.
Compact and Portable: Modular construction allows for efficient packing, storage, and transport.
