In the ongoing pursuit to make helmets safer, MIPS AB, the global leader in helmet-based safety systems, has unveiled its innovative Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool. With this tool, MIPS uses state-of-the-art computer science to replicate and predict the response in helmet testing as well as in real-life impacts, more quickly and efficiently. With nearly 20 years of experience developing groundbreaking testing methodology, MIPS has become a pioneer in utilizing virtual testing for linear and rotational motion.
“Our 20 plus years of research and simulating real-world accidents has led us to this groundbreaking way to test helmets,” said MIPS CEO, Max Strandwitz. “We are committed to lead the world to safer helmets and at the same time help to improve the development process for helmet brands. This is the way forward, and in a near future we will be able to test all different kinds of helmets according to leading standards, all in the name of consumer safety.”
Developing new helmets has always been a demanding task lined with uncertainties, even for the most
