There is a desperate need for factories to manufacture on-demand materials and devices for a range of essential healthcare services.

    A robust and resilient manufacturing network fueled by a distribution of additive manufacturing (3D printing) factories can help mitigate the shortage of necessary products. Critical parts can be made on-demand by a decentralized 3D printing facility by leveraging shared designs, some of which might require customization or complex designs. The applications are manifold: medical devices (ventilator valves, CPAP mask connectors), personal protective equipment (face shields, respirators, filters), testing devices, and personal accessories (face masks, mask fitters/adjusters).
