3D printers are extremely useful in the battle against corona virus [CoVid]. 3D designers around the globe are trying their best to help the people as well as the government to tackle this situation. They are lending away their time to design PPE (personal protective equipment) and also few other solutions to help out in this situation.

One of the ideas that helped a lot of patients and doctors in Italy, the most affected country in European Union, was to have 3D printed valves for reanimation devices. The hospital had shortage of valves due to the broken supply chain. Massimo Temporelli, designed this valve once he was contacted.

The 3D printed valve was tested as well implemented to save many lives in North Italy. The valve can be used to support the flow of oxygen from the oxygen tanks to the patients. Check out the story here.
