Wireless sensor system for real-time performance monitoring in sports.

In Paralympic sports, investigating seating ergonomics and optimizing for performance is crucial due to individual impairments. Usually, experiments are conducted in laboratory environments and for skiing, usually on a treadmill. In this paper, we are moving experiments out of the laboratory setting to in-slope performance monitoring of kinetics and kinematics.

High-performance polymer 3D printing - Open-source liquid cooled scalable printer design.

To print high-performance polymers, a stable running printer that can reach high temperatures is needed. There is currently a lack of low-cost solutions that allow manipulation of process parameters and expansion of sensors to monitor the printer as well as the process. This paper presents an open-source hardware upgrade for low-cost 3D printers to enable research on new high-temperature polymers as well as manufacturing from all currently available polymers.
