A stab resistant vest is a reinforced piece of body armour designed to resist knife or needle attacks of different energy levels specifically to the upper part of the body (chest and abdomen) to save lives. The majority of armours limit several comfort parameters, such as free locomotion, respiration, flexibility and light weight, which determine efficient use by wearers and their willingness to wear. Currently available armours are usually made of a single plate, and although often segmentation is used with just a few but still quite large pieces, the materials are compact and bulky to wear. In this study, stab protective armor elements (scale-like elements) of 3 mm thickness and 50 mm diameter were designed, produced (3D printed) and tested for performance. Aramid fibre was used for its strength, durability and process ability to develop protection elements at unidirectional and multidirectional filling angles during 3D printing. The specimens were tested according to VPAM KDIW 2004. The specimens designed and developed with multidirectional filling angles of aramid resist the puncturing energy level K1 (25 J) with a penetration depth less than the maximum allowed for the K1 energy level by VPAM. These specimens showed a high protection level of relative small thickness (3 mm) and light weight (6.57 grams for the estimated area A ≈ 1963.5 mm²) as compared to the currently certified armors for K1 (for example, the aluminum mass is 13.33 grams for 2 mm thickness and 50 mm diameter).

Kamizelka odporna na dźgnięcie to wzmocniony element kamizelki kuloodpornej zaprojektowany tak, aby był odporny na ataki nożem lub igłą, w szczególności w górnej części ciała (klatce piersiowej i brzuchu), tak aby ratować życie. Kamizelka taka powinna spełniać kilka parametrów komfortu, takich jak: swoboda poruszania się, oddychanie, elastyczność i niewielka waga, które decydują o efektywnym użytkowaniu przez użytkowników i ich chęci do noszenia. Obecnie dostępne kamizelki są zwykle wykonane z jednej płyty i chociaż często stosuje się segmentację z zaledwie kilkoma, ale wciąż dość dużymi elementami, materiały są zwarte i nieporęczne w noszeniu. W pracy zaprojektowano, wyprodukowano (wydrukowano w 3D) i przetestowano pod kątem wydajności elementy pancerza ochronnego (elementy przypominające łuski) o grubości 3 mm i średnicy 50 mm. Zastosowano włókno aramidowe ze względu na jego wytrzymałość, trwałość i zdolność do wytwarzania elementów zabezpieczających przy jednokierunkowych i wielokierunkowych kątach wypełnienia podczas druku 3D. Próbki badano zgodnie z VPAM KDIW 2004. Stwierdzono, że zaprojektowane i opracowane próbki były odporne na poziom energii przebicia K1 (25 J) przy głębokości penetracji mniejszej, niż maksymalna dopuszczalna dla poziomu energii K1 przez VPAM. Próbki te wykazały wysoki poziom ochrony przy stosunkowo małej grubości (3 mm) i niewielkiej wadze (6.57 g dla szacowanego obszaru A ≈ 1963.5 mm²) w porównaniu z obecnie certyfikowanymi pancerzami dla K1 (np.: masa aluminium wynosi 13,33 g dla grubości 2 mm i średnicy 50 mm).
