Technology & Products
Key Products
["The Hooking: A modular, heavy-duty 3D-printed hanger system for full hockey kits.","Customizable Gear Attachments: Specialized modules for skates, helmets, and gloves.","Wall-mount and Portable Storage Solutions: Adaptable configurations for locker rooms or home use."]
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.
