Good luck to all the athletes and athletic trainers kicking off the Fall season! 💪

At PROTECT3D, our goal is simple: empower medical professionals with easy-to-use 3D tools so every athlete can compete at their best. We’re redefining the standard of care by replacing ill-fitting products and time consuming plaster casting with custom 3D printed solutions. We’re looking forward to supporting medical professionals across the country this fall season!

7 Years Strong 🎉

From our very first scan to our latest breakthroughs, we’ve been on a mission to redefine custom recovery—because one-size-fits-all doesn’t fit anymore. We aren’t just making average medical devices; we’re changing the standard of care so every single person can move without limits.

Huge thank you to every athletic trainer, doctor, patient and athlete who has trusted us along the way. To celebrate, our team enjoyed a company picnic and fun evening in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens!

Thumb arthritis shouldn’t dictate your activity level.

For too long, managing CMC joint pain meant settling for bulky, uncomfortable, “one-size-fits-most” braces. The reality is simple: if a brace doesn’t fit, you won’t wear it - and that means missing out on the activities you love.

We’ve teamed up with OrthoCarolina to change that standard.

Through this partnership, renowned hand surgeon Dr. Glenn Gaston is utilizing PROTECT3D braces to deliver superior care to his patients. Instead of a clinical compromise, Dr. Gaston’s patients receive personalized support built precisely for their unique hand shape. This ensures maximum comfort, better joint stability, and the freedom to return to daily life without a bulky brace holding them back.
Our custom 3D-printed CMC brace is built around your anatomy using a simple 30-second iPhone scan. Low-profile, perfectly contoured, and designed to help you Move Without Limits.

We are proud to be heading to the NBA Basketball Tech Expo tomorrow in Las Vegas! Out of hundreds of innovators, PROTECT3D was invited as one of just ~40 best-in-class companies shaping the future of basketball technology.
From the NBA Finals to training rooms nationwide, we’ve been changing the game with our millimeter-precise, 3D-printed custom solutions, engineered to get elite athletes back on the court safer and faster.
We’re incredibly excited to connect with league executives, athletic trainers, partners, and fellow innovators at the Summer League. If you’re going to be at the Expo, let’s connect, share insights, and discuss how we can eliminate the phrase “one-size-fits-all” from your training room.

Love seeing this energy on the court! It’s amazing getting to work with world-class sports medicine and athletic training staffs like the The Los Angeles Sparks. Seeing our products play a role in keeping elite athletes protected and doing what they love never gets old and takes a relentless team in the training room to find the best solutions possible.

We took home the top spot (and the $5K grand prize) at last week’s pitch competition at Greg-a-Palooza 2026. Competing against 14 incredible NC startups was a masterclass in innovation, but having both the judges and the audience back our mission proves that the market is ready to retire “one-size-fits-none” bracing. We’re deploying this win straight into scaling our proprietary 3D-printing tech, ensuring everyone from the Canes on their Stanley Cup run to everyday patients can Move Without Limits.

Huge thanks to GrepBeat and the Durham tech community for the incredible energy.
