Within the framework of the United Arab Emirates University’s keenness to find scientific and innovative solutions to contribute to combating the global pandemic Virus Krona Covid 19 Emirates University of Science and Innovation Park launched the “Makers vs. Covid 19” initiative, and succeeded in designing a face protection through the use of 3D printers and laser cutting machines.
In detail, the Executive Director of the Emirates University Park for Science and Innovation, Prof. Nehal Shabrak, said: “Given the shortage of personal protective equipment supplies, the lives of health workers and workers in the first line of defense against this virus around the world are at risk, a team of creators Engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students in the university park with unremitting efforts in time to create devices and equipment using three-dimensional printing techniques, also noted that the university is currently coordinating and communicating with the National Crisis and Emergency Management Authority and the Ministry of Health He treated them with masks fitted in her lab, and worked to develop production.
While the engineer at the University’s Science and Innovation Park, Muhammad Al Jamal, explained that the work team used their manufacturing skills, and succeeded in designing a face shield through the use of 3D printers and laser cutting machines, indicating that the mask provides a layer of protection for the user who is above the protection of the face mask currently used and is a component The design of a face shield file is available on the university’s website and anyone can visit the site and download the design and print it to produce a personal protective gear in accordance with the highest standards of safety and protection.
It is worth noting that the Emirates University for Science and Innovation Park invited all students and researchers in the manufacturing centers and laboratories and universities in the country to use the available designs that are available and start immediately printing masks using 3D printers and laser cutting machines as many as possible to manufacture personal protective tools in a specific time period until he participates Everyone harnesses the potential to enhance security and protect society from the threat of the Crohna pandemic.
