Three-dimensional printing

• Given the high risk of healthcare system capacity being exceeded, including the availability of medical
• hardware (face masks, ventilators and breathing filters) to treat Covid-19 patients, governments around the
• world are taking increasingly drastic measures to boost production and optimise the supply of the necessary
• medical equipment. As the coronavirus continues to put a strain on hospitals around the world, threedimensional (3D) printing can play an important role as a disruptive digital manufacturing technology in
• sustaining the effort of hospital workers in the middle of this emergency and in keeping patients alive.
