Reusable 3D-Printed Face Mask

   
   Rowan University engineering and clinical college students have evolved a prototype for a durable, lightweight, reusable face masks to reinforce the deliver of face masks at some stage in the modern scarcity of PPE all through the COVID-19 outbreak. Developed in collaboration with clinical professionals, the mask prototype might also serve in medical and discipline use. If printed, used, and maintained correctly, the mask provides a durable, reusable mechanical barrier.



Ease of installation and use

   The prototype offers components: a contoured mask and filter housing. No special tools are needed for assembly. The replaceable nonwoven clear out materials endorsed for the filter out housing are extensively available. The masks may be printed in three sizes, all with the equal size clear out housing. The contoured mask can be more intently molded to the user’s face by using submerging the rims in hot water and pressing it to reform the form in opposition to the face.

Mask Strap Efficiency  This simple but useful tool is designed to make face masks less painful to wear for medical workers treating coronavirus patients. The part is made by printing a set, and then connecting with any filament which will also set its width.  In this way, the filament which is needed for a single print is reduced and 18 sets on a 250x250mm print bed are allowed. Small protrusions on both sides of the plastic buckle hold the mask strap and the mask strap does not exert painful pressure on the ears. References: Michael B. ( 2020 ). Prusa Printers.
