3D Printible open Source Mask

By

Due to the tremendous spread of the Coronavirus that in recent days has invaded all the continents of the globe (with the exception of Antarctica), and unfortunately above all in Italy , it is increasingly difficult to find a mask , if not paying for it in gold. This is even more true since only some of these masks are actually useful in protecting themselves from the virus. Many are therefore adopting different homemade solutions, some more than useful even become comic . The truth is that these solutions given by you as you, do not prevent the spread of the virus effectively, as these protective supports should and do not prevent the spread of any pathogenic elements to subjects at risk.
As in all world-class situations, there are those who try to take advantage of the needs and the moment of crisis, and those who try to do as much as possible to help . 
Even on the web: there are those who have inserted AZORult malware in online maps that show the contagion in the world of coronavirus and those who have created the EpiRisk tool , which helps to predict possible contagions and how the virulent situation could evolve , in the globe.
Fortunately, however, as just mentioned, human ingenuity and the ability to do good, always manage to break down any bad deed.
Thanks to an all-Italian team, it is now possible to print your own disposable 3D mask, using a model made available for free by the team, and assembling it at home . And it is thanks to the intervention of Open Source Mask that it is possible to make these masks at home (obviously provided you have a 3D printer).
The Open Source Mask project originates from an idea by Vitantonio Vacca . The idea then infected (forgive the pun) other team members who participated in the realization project: Ambrogio Occhipinti, Giuseppe Occhipinti, Savino Carbone and Davide Saponieri.

HealthyPi

By
  The HealthyPi was designed with not just one application in mind, but a variety of them. While it does function as a vital sign monitor for traditional patient monitoring applications, it can also be used for several other applications. You can use it with a Raspberry Pi using a display; use it with a Raspberry Pi with the official touchscreen using our “Complete Kit,” or you can use it standalone by connecting it to any computer’s USB port. The software is compatible across all platforms.                                                                         Resources: https://github.com/Protocentral/protocentral-healthypi-v3 http://healthypi.protocentral.com

Sterilising Lamp by Frank Chou

By
Frank Chou's Sterilising Lamp combines an ultraviolet (UV) light with a tray, and would ideally be kept by the entrance to the user's home for them to put items in such as their mobile phone, keys or wallet as they enter the room. The user would press the cover body to activate the internal UV light source, the body then lowers to cover the items in the tray with the UV light. After 60 seconds the cover automatically rises to reveal the now-sterilised items again. Frank Chou aimed to create an "unconscious design" when creating the lamp, which he hopes can blend into the home and become part of people's daily routine, as opposed to a disinfection method that they consciously have to think about doing.

Arm Door Opener for COVID-19 by CIM UPC

By
Based on the original design by Materialise, this opener, 3D-designed at CIM UPC, can be manufactured with any desktop 3D printer and simply assembled with 3 cable ties. With this opener, all shared door handles can be opened without using your hands. The engineers at CIM UPC began to analyse the different alternatives available on the market to open the doors without using the hands and realized that none were easy enough to assemble, nor did they adapt to the different types of handles and that, in general, they required special elements being difficult to procure. So they got down to work. The final outcome, after a hard week working with different designs and prototypes, is the Arm Door Opener. It consists of a single piece that can be manufactured in less than 4 hours with any desktop 3D printer and can easily be assembled with only 3 cable ties. This design has been made in two versions for doors that open to the left and to the right and the assembly is carrie...
