About Voronoi Fahrradhelm
Der Helm ist von der in der Natur weit verbreiteten 3D-Voronoi-Struktur inspiriert. Mit einer Kombination aus parametrischer Technik und Bionik verfügt der Fahrradhelm über ein verbessertes externes mechanisches System. Es unterscheidet sich von der herkömmlichen Flockenschutzstruktur durch sein ungekürztes bionisches 3D-Mechaniksystem. Wenn diese Struktur von einer externen Kraft getroffen wird, zeigt sie eine bessere Stabilität. Im Gleichgewicht zwischen Leichtigkeit und Sicherheit soll der Helm den Menschen einen bequemeren, modischeren und sichereren persönlichen Fahrradschutzhelm bieten.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- With a combination of parametric technique and bionics, the bicycle helmet has an excellent external mechanical system. It's different from traditional flake protection structure in its unabridged bionic 3D mechanical system. When hit by an external force, this structure shows better stability. The helmet's porous characteristic makes it possible to achieve a perfect balance of safety and lightness. And the helmet can get better air permeability and organic cool appearance.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The helmet is still in the experimental test stage. It comes in 3 sizes. Shell is constructed from carbon kevlar and fiberglass resin with a polystyrene lining.

- Main Material: Shell is constructed from carbon kevlar and fiberglass resin with a polystyrene lining.
- Design Challenge
- It's a key of appearance design to make the structure system adapt to cavity form. In the research process, we have to arrange data interaction mechanism between different algorithm units. Iteration and feedback of data lead to the rationality of final simulation results,
- Research
- With the parametric technique, we take mechanical simulation experiments of inner structure sampling points. Based on the simulation date, structure sampling points are rearranged properly, and the helmet finally gets an integrated structure system. Considering the convenience of parametric technique, we can directly control the density parameter of the whole structure system, and specification parameter of the supporting system. After mechanical simulation experiments of the latest structure, the result of simulation affects controls parameter, which promotes the helmet's adaptation to different users and usage scenarios.
- Inspiration
- The helmet is inspired by 3D Voronoi structure which is widely distributed in Nature, for example, the structure of the animal's bone, turtle shell, and even straw, etc. The structure is a natural consequence of natural evolution, which gives the organism perfect physical performance in aspects of lightness, stability and energy interaction. Thus, we apply this parametric technique into the improvement of helmet design. At the balance of lightness and safety, we hope to provide people with more comfortable, more fashionable, and safer personal protection bicycle helmet.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2018 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China and would be available for mass consumption in July 2020 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
- Operation Flow
- The helmet structure is the important design elements in this design. The helmet's porous characteristic makes it possible to achieve a perfect balance of safety and lightness. And the helmet can get better air permeability and organic cool appearance.
