UK Manufacturers Use 3D-Printing to Aid Ventilator Production
UNITED KINGDOM — Manufacturers such as Vauxhall and Airbus are planning to repurpose their factories and utilize 3D-printing technology to create parts for ventilators to treat patients with the coronavirus.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson appealed to companies to help in a “wartime” effort to help produce 20,000 ventilators in as little as two weeks in a call that has seen a response from over 60 firms.
