Patent attributes
Methods for the individualized design and manufacture of lacrosse heads using point of sale additive fabrication. In one aspect, a subscription-based method includes digitizing a plurality of lacrosse heads having different three-dimensional attributes, storing the resulting digital object data into a digital lacrosse head library, transmitting the digital lacrosse head library to a subscriber, recording the number of lacrosse heads formed by the subscriber using additive fabrication, and generating an invoice based on the number of formed lacrosse heads. In another aspect, a method includes displaying images of lacrosse heads on a user interface, enabling the user-specified selection of discrete components of a lacrosse head, enabling the user specification combination of the discrete components, superimposing the user-specified combination to form a digital object representation of a lacrosse head, forming a tangible three-dimensional lacrosse head by additive fabrication, and transferring the tangible three-dimensional lacrosse head to the consumer.
