Mechanical Vetilator from flat sheet

Mechanical ventilators can be crafted from flat sheets, such as metal, plywood, or other flat materials. Two key components are produced using 3D printing technology. The advantages of this approach include the ability to cut out the entire structure from a single raw material sheet in the comfort of one's own home, utilizing a cutter with a radius of R5. This method also minimizes the number of fasteners required for assembly and enables the creation of a seamless housing connection. Furthermore, the cam shape can be easily modified to adjust the inhale/exhale phase airflow direction, as the current design allows for linear air stream supply. Additionally, this approach reduces the amount of electronic components needed. However, there are some disadvantages associated with this method. The cam mounting process requires the use of steel and a professional-grade machine.
