Playerdata teamed up with the Homeless World Cup Foundation to deploy its latest technology at the organisation’s 16th football tournament.
Overview
Edinburgh-based Playerdata is a wearable tech firm whose products monitor an athlete’s biometrics, performance and technique. Playerdata partnered with the Homeless World Cup Foundation to deploy its latest technology at the organisation’s 16th football tournament.
A tracking system was attached to each player at the event in Mexico City, which featured more than 500 players from at least 40 countries. Data is then sent wirelessly to a base station that updated the event’s site in real time.
The same data will also be used to provide insights to players and their coaches to help improve performance. Some 200,000 spectators are attending the event in the Mexican capital, with millions more who watched the games online.

Case Study Highlights
Smart Nesting for Cost Efficiency
The animation shows how smart nesting of the clip on the back of the case inside the unused space on the front of the case brought the cost of both units down to £10.10 + vat. If printed individually the cost would have been; Front of case £4.37 + vat (price breaks incl) & Back of case £8.53 + vat (price breaks incl).
Using our xyz pricing structure it can be far more cost effective to nest multiple parts together in the smallest possible area. All the empty space surrounding your part that is not being used can be filled with other parts and printed at no extra cost.
Why Playerdata chose 3DPRINTUK?
“We actually have a Formlabs form 2 printer in house equipped with ‘Tough resin’, we found though that the SLS prints from 3DPRINTUK yielded a much higher quality part in terms of finish and strength with a much quicker turnaround time. It would have taken our printer over a month of continuous printing to produce the parts we would have needed.”
SLS allows you to brand your parts and add custom part numbers; and even more beneficially to a project like this you can combine multiple functions into one body.
