We are officially heading home from an incredible experience at the NBA Tech Expo in Las Vegas. Representing PROTECT3D alongside the most innovative companies in basketball technology was both a privilege and a powerful validation of our mission. Over the course of the event, we had the opportunity to showcase our elite, custom-fit protective solutions and engage in meaningful discussions with NBA team executives, performance directors, and athletic trainers. We loved demonstrating how our seamless smartphone scanning-to-3D-printing workflow is actively helping teams minimize recovery time, eliminate bulky off-the-shelf bracing, and protect their most valuable assets with millimeter precision. Thank you to the NBA for organizing a world-class showcase of sports innovation, and to everyone who took the time to connect with our team. We look forward to continuing these conversations and partnering with more franchises to elevate the standard of athlete care. If you didn’t get a chance to connect with us in Las Vegas but are interested in bringing PROTECT3D’s custom solutions to your organization for the upcoming season, please reach out to our team or visit us at protect3d.io. #SportsTechnology #NBATechExpo #SportsMedicine #AthleticTraining #AthleteProtection #3DPrinting #SportsInnovation

That’s a wrap on NATA 2026. Thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth 1811 in Philadelphia. This week was a powerful reminder of why we continue to heavily invest in the athletic training profession. It was incredible to catch up with our long-standing partners who rely on our 3D-printed protection every day, and equally exciting to kick off new relationships with high-performance ATCs who are ready to move past the limitations of traditional, "one-size-fits-most" bracing. Whether you manage an elite room in the pros or protect athletes at the collegiate and high school levels, your mission is our mission: helping athletes Compete Without Limits. If we scanned you at the booth or if you’re ready to see how our 30-second iPhone scan can seamlessly integrate into your busy workflow, our team is ready to connect. Let's keep pushing the standard of care forward. See you all next year! #NATA2026 #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #3DPrinting #CompeteWithoutLimits #PROTECT3D

We are partnering with NATA Hall of Fame Athletic Trainer Dr. Rod Walters, DA, ATC to present a series of live webinars: Custom-Fit Protection for Athletic Performance. We understand the impact that spending valuable hours in the facility battling traditional thermoplastics has on ATCs. Between material breakdown under peak body temperatures and time-intensive manual modifications, it's a compromise on your schedule and player safety. In this interactive session, Dr. Walters breaks down how elite collegiate and professional programs utilize a simple 3-step digital workflow to eliminate that friction: 1. Scan: A quick 30-second iPhone 3D scan right on your facility floor. 2. Design: Digitally fabricating position-specific, medical-grade orthoses tailored to precise pathology. 3. Print: Advanced 3D printing delivering lightweight, breathable, and waterproof devices straight to your department in a matter of days. Bonus: This webinar is approved for 1 BOC CEU toward your continuing education requirements. Space is capped for high-quality interactive Q&A directly with Dr. Walters.

Traditional, "one-size-fits-most" bracing is a compromise that limits motion and hurts patient compliance. We believe medical devices should be built around the individual’s anatomy so athletes can actually wear their protection and Compete Without Limits. PROTECT3D was built to solve real-world injury problems for elite athletes. Today, our 3D-printed, anatomically precise devices are battle-tested in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and NCAA. As we continue to heavily invest in the athletic training space, we are scaling that elite "return to play" standard to help athletic trainers everywhere protect their athletes with a simple, 30-second iPhone scan. We'll be at NATA and are looking forward to connecting with high-level Athletic Trainers looking to elevate their training rooms to provide superior, custom protection to their athletes. 📍 Where to find us: Booth: 1811 When: June 30 – July 1 Location: Philadelphia, PA Drop by Booth 1811 to see our proprietary scan-to-print technology in action. Let’s change the standard of care together! #NATA2026 #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #3DPrinting #CompeteWithoutLimits #PROTECT3D

You can’t scale a new standard of care alone. We built PROTECT3D to eliminate the compromises of “one-size-fits-none” bracing. But expanding our technology from elite sports to the broader clinical market requires partners who think exactly like we do. That is why our partnership with ACO Medical Supply works so well. Our missions are perfectly aligned. While ACO is dedicated to “Helping People Move and Live Better,” we exist to ensure those same patients can “Move Without Limits”. They aren’t just distributing our custom devices; they are mastering the technology behind them. Having their team in our lab to dive firsthand into our rapid smartphone 3D scanning and see our digital fabrication and 3D-printing workflows firsthand shows exactly why they are a tier-one partner. By investing the time to deeply understand patient-specific care, ACO is helping us bring state-of-the-art, optimized solutions directly to the providers and patients who need them most. Together, we’re changing the game in recovery medicine. #CustomIsTheNewStandard #CustomBracing #3Dtechnology #3Dprinting #PROTECT3D #MoveAndLiveBetter

The "Mask Celly" might be a new one, but we are absolutely here for it. 🤝🏀 Love seeing moments like this in our protective gear! When an athlete is genuinely comfortable in their protective equipment, they don't just perform at a higher level—they play with complete confidence. And it's even better when the teammates rushing to celebrate with them are *also* locked down in a PROTECT3D custom face masks. In high-stakes athletic environments, traditional "one-size-fits-none" bracing and facial protection is a compromise that hurts compliance. If a guard or mask pinches, shifts, or limits sightlines, it changes how an athlete competes. When equipment fits perfectly, athletes wear it. And when they wear it, they can compete without limits. #SportsMedicine #AthleticTraining #SportsTech #3DPrinting #PlayerSafety #WNBA #PROTECT3D

We had a blast at Grep-a-Palooza 2026. We’re incredibly proud to have taken home the top spot in last week’s $5K pitch competition. Going up against 14 incredible North Carolina startups was a great test, but having both the investor judges and the audience vote PROTECT3D as the overall winner proves one thing: the market is ready to move past "one-size-fits-none" bracing. The capital is already being deployed straight back into our team as we scale. From elite athletes like the Carolina Hurricanes chasing the Stanley Cup to everyday patients looking to regain their mobility, we are engineering anatomically precise protection so everyone can Move Without Limits. A huge thank you to GrepBeat for a phenomenal event, and to Durham's unmatched startup community for the incredible energy. #PROTECT3D #Grepapalooza #DurhamStartups #MedTech #3DPrinting

Old-school braces? Heavy, one-size-fits-none, and slow to arrive. PROTECT3D takes a different approach. With a custom fit and quick turnaround, our AFOs give orthopedic teams a tool they can trust and patients the comfort and mobility needed to get back to doing things they love with confidence. The PROTECT3D AFO is low-profile enough to fit in standard sneakers and provides energy return to the ankle; supporting movement instead of restricting it. #Protect3D #NextGenAFO #OrthopedicPartners #FutureOfMobility #3dprintedAFO
