COVID-19 PPE Solutions

COVID-19 PPE Solutions - open-source assistive technology prototype by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) community

About this project

The Bellus3D Mask Fitter frame is a personalized 3D printed plastic frame that is contoured to the specific shape of a person's face to improve the peripheral seal of surgical, KN95 or other masks. The frame is automatically generated from a 3D face scan using the Bellus3D Face App or Dental Pro app for Apple iPhones or iPads with FaceID capability.

The attached STL file is one example that fits about 15% of the population. For an accurate size, please go to: https://www.bellus3d.com/solutions/mask-fitter

The challenge

Designing a simple and affordable solution that will enable wearers of different masks (cloth and/or surgical) to have a better seal, so that they will be better protected against COVID-19.

Who it helps

Most recently the CDC issued new guidelines regarding the wearing of masks. Per the new guidelines, it is imperative to improve the seal with surgical masks or similar face masks, so that it will provide sufficient protection against COVID-19.
