Bei Wilson haben sie einen Basketball aus dem 3D-Drucker entwickelt, der keine Luft braucht. Ob der sich durchsetzen wird? Keine Ahnung.
A first-of-its-kind breakthrough, the Airless Prototype eliminates the need to inflate the ball. Instead, it relies on a 3D-printed lattice structure and research-grade materials to replicate the bounce of a traditional basketball. The surface of the ball consists of small hexagonal holes, allowing air to pass through freely. Featuring eight panel-like lobes and a familiar seam structure, this is a ball unlike anything we’ve ever seen designed to play like the basketballs we’ve always known.
