3D printing can help fight against COVID-19
With the recent Coronavirus outbreak spreading its way across the world,
Supplies of face shields, face masks, and parts for respirators and ventilators
are in short supply, this shortage has motivated actions by the worldwide 3D
printing community.
From products and components for face shields, adapters for masks to avoid
discomfort and to various breathing apparatus, 3D printing filaments are
encouraging people to think ‘outside the box’ and many are sharing their ideas
in the hope that it will help lower the infection rate across the globe.
Many countries are seeing healthcare systems stretched by COVID-19. And in
some severe cases, those infected will require specialist ventilators to assist
breathing in patients.
Products such as face shields, masks and other PPE is in short demand - and
the shortage of this essential gear has united engineers in the 3D printing
world.
