3D printing lays foundation for a new range of diagnostic tests
Researchers at KU Leuven have developed a 3D printing technique that extends the possibilities of lateral flow testing. These tests are widespread in the form of the classic pregnancy test and the COVID-19 self-tests. With the new printing technique, advanced...
Review: Ergonomically designed AirPop masks based on 3D printing
Wearing face masks is one of the key criteria for minimizing coronavirus infection. Yet many masks are either uncomfortable for the wearer or, when comfortable, ineffective. New masks from AirPop solve this. . Face masks can provide an effective barrier, should...
DoD utilizes 3D-printing to create N95 respirators
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity’s Warfighter Expeditionary Medicine and Treatment Project Management Office, as part of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command’s Additive Manufacturing...
I 3D-Printed a Custom Mask Clip to Keep My Glasses From Fogging Up
And you can, too My 3D-printed custom nose bridge. Images courtesy of the author I wear glasses (not pictured above for photo reasons), and for the last nine months they’ve fogged up every time I’ve gone outside. . For some reason, I haven’t been able to find a mask...
3D Printed COVID-19 Test Chip Detects Covid-19 in Seconds
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report findings on an advanced nanomaterial-based biosensing platform that detects, within seconds, antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. . In addition to testing, the platform...
3D Printers – an opportunity ignored
BR Research It is oft cited that the future of manufacturing lies in additive manufacturing – or more commonly known as 3D printing. . And many are now saying that COVID-19 could be a tipping point for technology adoption in manufacturing. During 2020, the global...
2020’s Key COVID-19 3D Printing Stories
2020 has been a really tough year…I know this is a major understatement, but I can’t think of a more succinct way to put it. . According to the World Health Organization today, there are now over 76 million confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the...
A 10-second COVID-19 antibody test with 3D-printed high-performance sensors
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC, have developed one of the fastest known COVID-19 antibody tests. The test results are available in 10 to 15 seconds and detect the presence of two of the antibodies...
How 3D Printing Is Scaling Up COVID-19 Protection
The Veteran's Health Administration 3D printing initiative is expanding to include more on-site 3D printing capabilities. In times of emergency, 3D printers can quickly create life-saving products while larger-scale manufacturers catch up. . To respond to the...
