Xiborg's Competitive Prosthetic Blades for Top Athletes
The prosthetic blade for sprinters was optimized using the latest CFRP design and analysis methods, and commercialized after overcoming a variety of challenges by making full use of Toray's delicate autoclave molding technology with the use of high-performance prepreg in order to embody Xiborg's concept based on research and development to efficiently convert an athlete's powerful leg strength into forward momentum. In addition, the CFRP structure, which pursues light weight while still allowing for a large deformation, is one of the cutting-edge composite technology challenges, such as ensuring strength and durability. Through this development, Toray Carbon Magic was able to obtain a large amount of data and valuable know-how, and this technology is beginning to be used in the industrial and automotive fields.
