Anatomical protective items

An apparatus for use in manufacturing an anatomical protective item for one or more users, the anatomical protective item comprising a single layer of energy controlling cells, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory including computer program code,
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer program code and cause the apparatus to:
• obtain input data associated with one or more users;
• process the obtained input data to identify one or more energy controlling criteria for the anatomical protective item;
• employ a packing process to generate each energy controlling cell in the single layer of energy controlling cells, wherein:
• each energy controlling cell comprises one or more walls which extend from an upper surface of the single layer to a lower surface of the single layer, and
• the packing process is performed at least based on the identified one or more energy controlling criteria;
• and
• manufacture the anatomical protective item comprising the single layer of energy controlling cells.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions being executable by a computerized device to cause the computerized device to perform a method of manufacturing an anatomical protective item for one or more users, the anatomical protective item comprising a single layer of energy controlling cells, the method comprising:

• obtaining input data associated with one or more users;
• processing the obtained input data to identify one or more energy controlling criteria for the anatomical protective item;
• employing a packing process to generate each energy controlling cell in the single layer of energy controlling cells, wherein:
• each energy controlling cell comprises one or more walls which extend from an upper surface of the single layer to a lower surface of the single layer, and
• the packing process is performed at least on the basis of the identified one or more energy controlling criteria;
• and
• manufacturing the anatomical protective item comprising the single layer of energy controlling cells.
