We have been in home quarantine for months and in a state of social distancing. Can we get past the coronavirus (COVID-19) with our previous lifestyle or do we have to be more creative to survive??? In this post, we are going to share 3 Outstanding Stories of 3D Printing Innovations During Pandemic COVID-19, stay with us!

The coronavirus pandemic, or Covid-19, has put almost the entire world in crisis, with home quarantine as the best option for people and governments. But the poor and small private businesses do not tolerate quarantine and are forced to break the quarantine for a living.

The new corona pandemic, or Covid-19, was another threat for people all around the world. The disease has infected more than 17 million people, killed more than 600,000 people, and put home quarantine as the best option to break the deadly disease chain by staying home.

Relying on the layer-by-layer construction technique, 3D printing technology has improved the geometric constraints from two to three dimensions and made it possible to create almost any shape. Accordingly, desktop 3D printers have established themselves as the omnipotent champion and come to the aid of creative designers to provide the tools they need to deal with Corona.

In the following, we will review the most interesting stories about the performance of 3D printers and medical 3D printing services in the Covid-19 crisis.

3 Outstanding Stories of 3D Printing Innovations During Pandemic COVID-19

• Face masks and shields

One of the most important ways of transmitting the coronavirus is through the mouth, nose, and eyes. With the spread of this virus, the rate of using different types of face masks has multiplied. In such cases, firstly, due to the high working pressure, the quality level of inspection of manufactured products is reduced and the reliability of available masks is reduced.

Facial shields are a great way to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by preventing virus particles from being thrown into your face and creating greater self-awareness in people not to touch your face and eyes.

Making a face mask with the help of 3D printing

Due to the very high customizability of 3D printers, it can also be considered in fashion and entertainment. Also, with a few simple solutions, masks can be produced to fit your face perfectly and reduce the risk of unfiltered air penetrating around the mask.

Glask A fantastic phenomenon

Glask was invented and crafted by 3DMan Studio; located in Toronto, Canada. It was not easy but after several issues and months of detecting the problems with current face masks, trying to make new designs, and also prototyping these designs, Glask was born. The result is a face mask that makes you look great, feel comfortable; Moreover, many additional features including a Microphone/Loudspeaker, Bone voice conduction system, and an Electronic air filtration system that simply lets you breathe in an absolutly easier, safer, and fresher way!

You may wonder what is Glask? we can say that Glask has a multi-layer filtration mechanism coupled with electronics including smart fans and air pressure sensors (it’s amazing, isn’t it?). How does it work? Glask can smartly detect your body status and adjust airflow in your mask. So, when you are running or working out, it adjusts fan speed to get you more and enough oxygen.

Also, if you get a phone call from a friend or anyone else, these bone conduction earbuds will help you answer it easily, without even the need to take your mask off! Of course, it’s in the Pro Plus model. Glask simply protects you in a very smart way.

• Creative tools to open doors or press buttons:

Door handles and buttons are among the most exposed objects in our environment. As we know, many people during quarantine have to leave home and travel to different places such as banks, offices and etc. Imagine living in an apartment complex and going out to shop or do some banking. First, you have to press the elevator button or open the door of the complex, then you need to use an ATM machine or buy from the supermarket with your bank card. Therefore, there is a risk of touching a button or knob contaminated with Covid-19.

To solve this problem, creative people have started to make life in Corona easier. So again, heroic 3D printing has helped creative homeowners build creative tools to prevent buttons and knobs from being touched directly. Meanwhile, many companies active in the field of 3D printing, have also played a significant role in understanding the importance and opening of 3D printers by designing various tools.

Pressing the buttons with an auxiliary piece

Doorbell buttons, buttons for card readers in stores, buttons for fuel nozzles at gas stations, and buttons for ATMs; There are buttons that we deal with on a daily basis, and it is clear that we do not want to touch them directly in a corona crisis. Many people have sought the help of 3D printers and found their own solution to pressing buttons without the intervention of fingers. What is your solution?

• NASAL SWABS

What seems to be the greatest urgent need to combat COVID-19 is the identification of infected individuals. When testing is done on a large scale, there is better monitoring of who is infected. Which determines who should be quarantined to stop or slow down the spread. Also, health care professionals and other basic workers should be tested regularly. They rely heavily on PPE to ensure their health.

Finally, (BIDMC) or Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center developed a clinical trial. The result of this research team was four new prototypes of 3D printed swabs which were used in testing Coronavirus.

Although there were some mistakes in 2020, the act of 3D design services and printing during the COVID-19 pandemic has proved its long-term value to people from all around the world.
