Covid-19 masks
Covid-19 masks to protect medical staff worldwide
Spanish Nagami Design are leading an initiative to accelerate the production of personal protection masks to donate to local and global medical staff against COVID-19.
We have the furniture production on hold to focus exclusively on the production of robotic 3D printed COVID-19 Masks based on the Prusa model, which is open source and can be reproduced by desktop 3D printers. By designing a specific robotic version of the model and thanks to its extrusion technology, Nagami is printing around 500 COVID-19 Masks per day — or one mask every five minutes — around seven times faster than a desktop 3D printer, and the company is working around the clock in collaboration with the entire local community.
Nagami is currently focusing its efforts on covering Ávila’s needs, the city where its factory is located, and is planning to expand to other regions such as Madrid and La Rioja. Inquiries are arriving from various other countries, such as the USA, Italy, France, UAE, India, Denmark, UK.
