…could be converted, and some doctors say that in Italy there were providers who converted snorkels into masks for use in the office. They wanted to know if they could do that also. They had filters they could use with the oxygen generators in their offices. If they could combine them with the masks they could have useful, reusable PPE. They reached out to me, and the next day I had a prototype. We were able to print these converters they could attach to the filters and to the masks. Based on measurements we did for the masks and from…

…pitching with 3D-printed face shields and hand-sewn masks. In Italy, an engineering startup called Isinnova 3D printed venturi valves (which connect oxygen masks to respirators) that were needed to help keep patients alive. Italy’s hospitals were quickly overrun by COVID-19 patients, leading to a critical shortage of respirators and ventilators. Isinnova founder Christian Fracassi and his team reverse engineered the valve, and printed 100 of them in one day. Ventilator manufacturer Medtronic has also shared all of its design files so that other entities can print parts for its equipment without having to reverse-engineer or redesign the parts. 3D printer…

…crucial role in bridging the respirator valve shortage in Italy, one of the European countries hardest hit by the virus outbreak. As reported by Forbes, Isinnova's Christian Fracassi and Alessandro Romaioli, cofounders of an Italian engineering startup, “reverse-engineer a 3D-printed version of the official part. Called a venturi valve, [which] connects to a patient’s face mask to deliver oxygen at a fixed concentration, it connects to a patient’s face mask to deliver oxygen at a fixed concentration.” The production cost via 3D printing was roughly $2-$3. CRP Technology, an Italy-based 3D printing firm, is also joining the rush to produce…

…muscle and design expertise, as reported by ABC. In Italy, one of the hardest hit countries, local brands Ferrari and Fiat are now in discussion with ventilator makers to see if they can boost production of the critically needed breathing apparatuses, according to New York Post. Like these carmakers, a number of well-known fashion designers are now joining the fight against the virus. According to this BBC report, doctors and nurses may soon be strapping on surgical masks made by Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. DE editor Kenneth Wong spoke to Keith Meintjes, CIMdata Fellow and executive consultant, and Joe…
