Face Mask Design

grabcad

Used a face model from : Male Face Compared to other available face mask designs, this design should fit the common face profile better and provide a tighter seal. Added bigger strap loops for easier handling and made provision to place the filter in the cover instead of the mask itself, allowing for quicker changing - no need to remove the mask, the cover holds the filter. The cover can be easily removed by rotating it 25 degrees either way and fixed just as quickly or by a press fit when not in use. I welcome your thoughts and feedback on this design; feel free to make any necessary tweaks and print it out if you have access to a printer. Please share your experiences if you do so, as they will be invaluable in refining this design. The primary goal of this design is to conduct CFD analysis and compare it with existing designs to determine whether a larger opening can improve efficiency and reduce breathing effort and fatigue for the user. Other factors such as the filter used, seal quality, and various other considerations should also be taken into account. I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas you may have on this matter. If you like this design, please give it a thumbs up on the linked face model.
