The cases of sport 3D printing products were categorized into four areas(elite sports, leisure sports, disabled sports, and sports brands), and representative examples were introduced in each area. In the elite sports field, customized grips and sporting goods for improving player’s performance were being produced with 3D printing technology. In the field of leisure sports, there were many products for high-involvement sports consumers such as golf putters and surfing boards.
