The Designing, Testing, and Utility of a 3D-Printed Respirator: A Hospital's Journey Into Self-Sustainability During COVID-19.

Objective The current global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted supply chains and the production of essential goods and services. This includes personal protective equipment (PPE) kits, respirators, and other protective devices. Hence efforts were made to prototype and produce 3D-printed N95 respirators to fill the gap in supply.
