Concordia University’s 3D Printing Lab is focusing its efforts on fixing the personal protective equipment (PPE) shortage facing first responders and healthcare workers.
.
“My friend at Children’s reached out last week and said hey, do you have the ability to 3D print respirator masks?” Daniel Sem, Dean of Business at Concordia University said. “I said yeah. We have one of the biggest, in term of volume 3D printing facilities around.”
.
Sem says the University has 30 machines working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at printing PPE masks. He met with staff at Children’s Tuesday to see what they need to fix to make sure they’re put to good use. “Just to see if it is wearable, functional and we got a lot of really good feedback from them,” Sem said. They’re able to print about 70 masks a day and 500 per week. Sem […]
