Dear Shujoy,
Those were some impressive 24hrs!
I don't have so many things to share. I found Prusa's design to be
the most interesting too, and a local company (Tinkerine) produce a
similar one.
I printed them today, Prusa's took 1:50 hrs and Tinkerine's 1:20 hrs.
But after some consultations with colleagues and further research I
came to a similar conclusion as you. Face shield does not cover
enough, it is needed from ear to ear, and 3D printing may not be the
best solution. Flat laser cut seems more interesting. Attached to this
email there is a PDF of a local designer's proposal on this.
The key point is compliance with standards and authorisation for
medical use. I also learn today that the Canadian government is
streamlining the process.
Boa sorte com sua pesquisa!

Dear Colleagues
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
On Madeira island we have made big progress on this issue in the past
24
hours.
I can recount quickly the design process model against covid-19 in
this
message and summarize the major steps we have made as designers
working
with the local health ministry and the covid-19 medical council.
Maybe it is of assistance to other design academics undertaking
similar
challenges in this unfortunate period.
I agree that there is chaotic information out there but clusters of
assistance from the maker community, industrial manufacturers and
even
citizen designs are emerging and organically self-organizing.
Based on my research and interaction with the covid-19 medical
council on
Madeira I understand 3 product categories need addressing :
1> *Immediate:* Full-face shield / splash guard protectors (Prusa RC3
open
source seems to be quite popular here in EU and we are working with
it as
well)
2> *Emerging: *Swab test kit design for covid-19 detection
2> *Eventually:* Valves for ventilator appliances
*Face Shield Project*
Our focus has been on designing and supplying full-face shields to
the
covid-19 front line fighters in collaboration with entire 3D printing
fleet
available on the island.
The first line of defense in the hospital told us face shields are
highest
priority and in shortest supply.
*We based our design on the Prusa RC3, but it has a huge issue - it
needs
3-4 hours to print as pointed out above.*
We need a simpler design which doesn't use 3d printing to develop in
phase
2 of our work.
The challenge in this project was to execute everything remotely
maintaining social distancing norms in a time when a national
emergency
protocol is in force in Portugal while coordinating a working group
of
almost 30 professional consisting of covid-19 medical council /
regional
goverment elected officials / university colleagues / volunteer
post-doc
researchers.
*Process model:*
1. I felt the first step was to organize ourselves within UMa and
identify professors / staff wanting to help, therefore we have formed
a "
design & engineering against covid-19" taskforce.
2. The group management was delegated to a project management expert
from the projects office of the institution.
3. We reached out to local authorities with the offer to design and
supply equipment to the local hospital.
4. The local authorities quickly put us in touch with the covid-19
medical council in the hospital.
5. The council accepted our offer and laid out their requirement for
a
full-face shield as highest priority.
6. They advised us to use the Prusa model since it was already
certified
by the ministry of health in Czech Republic. (
https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/25857-prusa-protective-face-shield-rc3
)
7. The first test print of the product highlighted the issue of
insufficient lateral protection from the visor.
8. The issue is that doctors are also running out of protective
goggles
hence all faceshield designs must extend the front visor design from
ear to
ear for full 180 coverage.
9. Therefore we set about modifying the 3d model in consultation with
the covid medical council doctor delegated to liaison with us.
10. Once the design was fixed we had arrange enough 3d printers with
the
capability to print the product.
11. Communicating our effort to the wider community was a big
challenge
and the local authorities helped us on that by publishing a newspaper
article / tv news coverage to broadcast our effort.
12. We received volunteers offering their 3D printers from the
student
community, local start-ups, research labs within UMa and the Madeira
maker
community.
13. We therefore setup a distributed printing farm around the island
(around 30 printers).
14. The final design file and product specifications are stored in
google drive. All those wanting to help receive access to the file.
15. An excel datasheet keeps track of all the printers / their
deployment location / technical parameters / filament diamter /
polymer
composition.
16. Everything was standardized after due consultations within the
project coordination group through whatsapp.
17. We have been asked to supply 180 pieces within next 3 days with a
stable production for next 30 days or till crisis elevates.
Steps 1-4 (incubation)
Steps 5-10 (insight generation)
Steps 11-17 (transformation)
*Reflective notes:*
*Consortium task definition *
- Designers led the concept development and extracting technical
guidelines
from covid-19 medical council.
- Engineers led setup of the 3d printing technical parameters /
printers
deployment / print execution.
- Project manager led communication between academic / medical /
industry
members.
- Project manager also led raw material procurement, budget
management and
onboarding stakeholders.
- UMa Rector's office managed strategic communication across the
academic
community and deployment of campus infrastructure.
- Professional delivery company led the circulation of raw materials
stock
to printers and delivering final assembled products in sterile vacuum
bags
to the hospital.
- Medical staff in the hospital led product sterilization room setup
and
deployment to end user doctors and nurses.
- Covid-19 medical council is leading the fight and discussing with
us in
realtime next product category shortages emerging.
*Design modifications to Prusa RC3: * User testing with the doctors
highlighted design issues with the Prusa original version. (We hope
to
alert Prusa and others using that design as well) Doctors need
complete
lateral protection 180º - ear to ear, because they are running out
of
protective goggles. What they would like is to only use the
faceshield and
no goggles underneath. This means less equipment to sterilize as
well. So
we modified the structure to accept a larger acetate mounted to A3
size
introducing mounting pins also on the side. Our design is available
to
share if its needed by anyone. *Sterilization is an issue:* Our
discussions
with doctors now is on designing the elaborate supply system design
to
achieve a clean product vacuum packaged and opened in the hospital
ready
for the chemical bath for final sterilization. We have worked out a
sterilization protocol to be done inside the hospital using soap
water and
alcohol solution chemical dip before mounting the product on user.
Probably more work is needed on this step.
*Open challenges:* *Product durability !:* My overnight consultations
with
industry medical equipment designers based in New Zealand highlighted
product durability will fail after probably few sterilization cycles.
PLA
polymer of 1.75mm dia filament is what we are using to achieve a
balance of
speed and quality. *3D printing is not efficient !:* Regional health
authorities foresee a demand of this product to be very high. 3D
printing
is not a viable solution. Other design and manufacturing processes
like
thermo-forming or laser cutting flat sheets is faster. If crisis
worsens we
will have to develop a "Plan B" with alternate manufacturing
techniques.
*Next Steps and Future:*
Our newly formed consortium between healthcare community / teaching &
research community / industry community sees lots of potential
opportunities to form research projects around central theme *"Design
for
Pandemics"*. Once covid-19 passes we hope to develop funded
investigations
in this area.
*Vítor:*
I would be interested to see your face shield designs and share ours.
*Thea: *
Thanks for sharing the call link.
*Com os Melhores Cumprimentos,*
