PPE Face Mask Vacuum Formed Proof-of-Concept

myminifactory

THIS THING IS A WORK IN PROGRESS / PROOF OF CONCEPT -- we are documenting our work here to share what progress we have made and to solicit feedback and get more input. NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED With the health care industry facing such a dire supply shortage, we have started receiving many requests from health care professionals and institutions about 3D printed N95 masks, as I imagine many other 3D printers have as the news makes the rounds. This design uses a combination of 3D printing and Vacuum Forming, as this can be a much higher throughput machine. We are using the Mayku for vacuum forming, and found PETG sheets to work the best (note: this is the same PETG sheet that can be used for many of the Face Shield designs)   Also in the background we're printing Door Grabbers!
