The modest nasal swab, a product that’s been around for more than 100 years, was reinvented and launched by a team of engineers at Carbon and Resolution Medical in 20 days. The 3D printer company, co-founded by chemist and entrepreneur Joseph DeSimone, recognized the shortage in swab supplies during the height of the pandemic and set out to help. But in typical Carbon fashion, it didn’t just print swabs, it improved them.
