Reinforce 3D and Bauer Hockey partner to advance sports equipment

Reinforce 3D, an innovator in continuous carbon fiber reinforcement technology, and Bauer Hockey, LLC, a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance sports equipment, are collaborating to introduce Continuous Carbon Fiber Injection Process (CFIP) technology to sports gear manufacturing. This advanced technique significantly enhances the strength, durability, and lightweight performance of end-use parts.

The Continuous Carbon Fiber Injection Process (CFIP) is an innovative manufacturing method integrating continuous carbon fiber reinforcement into production. This results in sports equipment that is stronger and more durable while maintaining a lightweight structure. Incorporating this technology will be particularly beneficial for Bauer Hockey’s product line and Cascade/Maverik Lacrosse gear, ensuring that athletes at all levels access next-generation equipment designed to optimize performance and safety.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in sports equipment innovation. By combining Reinforce 3D’s expertise in CFIP technology with Bauer’s legacy of excellence in sports gear, the companies are poised to develop new products that set new industry standards for strength, durability, and lightweight performance.

Blanca Garro, CEO of Reinforce 3D, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating that the company’s mission has always been to elevate the performance of every component they enhance. Partnering with Bauer Hockey, a globally recognized leader in sports equipment, provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the true potential of CFIP technology in high-performance applications.

Similarly, Mathieu Ducharme, Director of Advanced Product Development at Bauer Hockey, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting that Bauer has always been at the forefront of sports equipment innovation. By working with Reinforce 3D, the company can continue to develop cutting-edge products that enhance athlete performance and safety.

With this strategic agreement in place, Reinforce 3D, Bauer Hockey, and Cascade/Maverik Lacrosse plan to launch a new line of CFIP-enhanced sports equipment in the coming months. These innovations will span multiple product categories, including hockey skates, sticks, helmets, protective gear, lacrosse helmets, pads, and shafts. The overarching goal of this collaboration is to introduce equipment that provides athletes with the perfect balance of strength, durability, and lightweight design, allowing them to perform at their highest level.
