A team of Brno University of Technology researchers and students have developed a 3D printable protection half mask that does not require a special material or printer. The product is intended for the general public and can be easily manufactured on regular 3D equipment utilizing the FDM technology (thermoplastic modeling). Although such printers are usually not recommended for such purposes due to the eventual porosity and difficult sealing of the product, the BUT team’s concept involves an original solution to this problem, allowing the use of standard devices.
