Technology & Products
Key Products
The Hooking: A modular, patented 3D-printed hanger/drying rack system for full hockey kits., The Big One (Senior/Junior) and The Great One 2.0: Multifunctional backpacks for transporting hockey gear, made from CORDURA fabric and YKK components., Hockey bags, apparel, and accessories.
Technological Advantage
Leverages Prusa Research’s 3D printing technology to bypass expensive injection molding tooling costs, allowing for rapid design iterations, on-demand production, and the use of high-strength polymers that outperform mass-produced plastic alternatives.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Extends the lifespan of expensive hockey gear and improves hygiene by optimizing airflow for faster drying, while providing a space-efficient, modular organization system that is more durable than traditional plastic hangers.
How They Differentiate
Utilizes industrial-grade additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create a modular, 'Lego-like' system. Unlike traditional static metal racks or fabric bags, MIRNIX allows for custom configurations, easy part replacement, and uses high-strength polymers specifically engineered for the weight of professional hockey gear.
