“…The extent of testing within the literature also suggests the development of sports products for AM are preliminary concepts, with several studies resulting in critical failure of parts, 42,43,52,53,57 while some studies featured a single sample for testing (although may have included several iterations for simulated tests). 34,35,51 In order to reach the level of acceptance and innovation experienced within the medical industry, consistent and ongoing research is required by sporting product designers within academia and industry, and value must be placed on funding research that may improve the safety, comfort and performance of athletes at all levels of competition and recreation. This includes clearer reporting in literature of the hypothesis or goals for AM products, and whether achieving a comparable performance attribute to a standard product is desirable.…”

“…-Lin et al 34 Badminton Shuttle-cock Simulation and wind tunnel tests of the AM shuttlecock were similar to a feather shuttlecock at wind tunnel speeds below 15 m/s. However, they varied significantly at speeds greater than 15 m/s due to deformation of the skirt.…”

“…For example, depending on the product or feature, "improving" a quality such as aerodynamic performance may be considered negative, as demonstrated in the badminton studies where reducing the drag coefficient of a shuttlecock would alter the flight behavior understood by players, negatively impacting play. Therefore, in badminton studies [33][34][35] a similar result (-) is considered positive where AM is being investigated to replace the need for waterfowl feathers.…”

“…• Opportunities: o Combined with 3D scanning, AM provides new cost-effective means for producing athlete-specific products 36,39,40,46,53,54 o Parametric CAD files allow for almost limitless iterations of a design to suit specific users and conditions 19,41,42,50,51,56,57 o Part consolidation to reduce assembly costs and open new possibilities with multimaterial AM 51,53,54 o Complex geometries that would not be manufacturable using subtractive methods provide new opportunities to improve performance 42,44,55 • Challenges: o Long-term durability of AM materials for sports applications is unclear, with most studies not containing longitudinal analyses, and featuring limited sample sizes 33,35,42,53 o AM is typically a slower process than traditional manufacturing processes 51,54 o Postprocessing can be time-and labor-intensive 52,54 o Many parts produced with AM must still interface with a conventional part to form a product, limiting geometry 49,51 o Optimization software still requires manual intervention and an understanding of design for AM 52,55 o New products produced through AM may not meet sporting regulations 19,44 o Laboratory testing may not translate to real-world conditions 19,34,56…”

Sport is an industry that may benefit from the opportunities offered by additive manufacturing (AM), and the media has portrayed increasing adoption of the technology in sports products. This systematic review aimed to consolidate and interpret the available empirical evidence concerning applications of AM in sports following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015. Four databases were searched within the date range of January 1984 to May 2019, using 28 broad and specific search phrases. This search resulted in 26 articles for analysis, the first appearing in 2010. Twelve sports in total were identified across the literature, with running/walking the most popular sport with ten articles (38%) investigating AM, followed by cycling with four articles (15%) and badminton with three articles (12%). Ten articles (38%) observed improvements in performance of products developed via AM compared to conventionally manufactured products, eight articles (31%) found a similar performance, and five articles (19%) found a lower performance. From a technical perspective, powder bed fusion technologies were the most utilized with 50% of articles using either selective laser sintering (SLS) or selective laser melting (SLM), although 52% of articles did not name the 3D printer used and 36% did not name any software used to design or optimize products. 3D scanning technology was also utilized in 11 articles (42%). Results indicate that AM has been slow to permeate sports research, and while considered across a variety of potential applications, has largely resulted in singular studies with potentially limited opportunities or funding for follow-up investigations.

“…Feasibility of a playable 3D-printed shuttlecock was also explored. 19 While appropriate for experimentation, the 3D-printed prototype showed significant deformation in the wind tunnel at air flow above 15 m/s. This high-speed behaviour means that the current 3D-printed functional shuttlecock prototypes are only suitable for slower flight.…”

An experimental method to obtain flight parameters from the trajectory of a badminton shuttlecock is described. This methodology is able to identify the aerodynamic parameters and simulate the various flight trajectories of a badminton shuttlecock. Two shuttlecocks were evaluated -a feather shuttlecock and a prototype synthetic shuttlecock. The four flight modes of the feather shuttlecocks were captured experimentally through an array of high-speed cameras. Flight parameters were identified from the serve shot of the feather shuttlecock to simulate the net shot, smash and clear flight path. The simulated trajectories were evaluated against the experimental trajectories to validate the proposed methodology. While slight deviation was observed, the simulated trajectories follow closely to the experimental result. Serve-shot trajectory data were then recorded for the prototype synthetic shuttlecock for parameter identification and trajectory simulation. The results showed significant variation in the clear and smash shots due to insufficient drag on the prototype. The net shot showed good agreement with the feather shuttlecock. This phenomenon is discussed. The work conducted is useful for evaluating early-stage prototypes which may not be sufficiently durable to sustain a clearshot or smash-shot test.

ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER's downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles' Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER's mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people's opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one's opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the 'truth' are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER's name.
