Leading the manufacture of COVID-19 personal protection masks is the Spanish company Nagami Design.

An endeavor to speed up the creation of personal protection masks to safeguard regional and international medical professionals against COVID-19 is being led by the Spanish design company Nagami Design, which specializes in robotic 3D printing.

The global coronavirus pandemic, which has so far been linked to more than 400.000 cases, has been most severe in Spain, China, Italy, the United States, and Madrid and its surrounding regions, including Castilla y León, the home of Nagami Design.

Moreover, the need for secure medical equipment has increased dramatically over the past several days as hospitals around the world are operating at or near capacity. Additionally, manufacturers are leveraging 3D printers and other digital manufacturing tools to create a global network where on-demand production locally, speeds up the supply of necessities like masks and life support equipment.

Furthermore, Nagami Design has halted the production of its furniture to concentrate solely on the creation of robotic COVID-19 Masks using desktop 3D printers and the open-source Prusa model. Nagami Design is printing about 500 COVID-19 Masks per day, about seven times faster than a desktop 3D printer. The company is working around the clock in collaboration with the entire local community. This is possible by designing a specific robotic version of the model and using its extrusion technology.

“While this is by far the most significant project ever undertaken, we wish we had never had to begin it. Our generation possesses the information and technological instruments that have truly important applications. There is nothing to sell and nowhere to compete. The founders of Nagami Design, Manuel Jimenez Garcia, Miki Jimenez Garcia, and Ignacio Viguera Ochoa, declare that this is a task for all of us and urge everyone with any sort of tool to reach out and assist restore safety to our planet.

Moreover, the city where its plant is based, Vila, is the current center of Nagami Design’s activities. This week, the company plans to extend to other areas, including Madrid and La Rioja. Numerous more nations are sending inquiries, including the USA, Italy, France, the UAE, India, the UK, Denmark, and others.

Furthermore, robotic extrusion in a layer-by-layer FDM creates the masks (fused deposition modeling). The substance utilized is PETG, which has great impact strength, is resilient to chemicals, is long-lasting, and is completely recyclable.

The production chain is now as short as possible thanks to 3D printing becoming the ideal instrument for local manufacturing. With COVID-19 emergency, this technology offers the chance to effectively make inexpensive tools, which are necessary to aid in lifesaving. Nagami’s Design founders declare, “This is without a doubt the most significant task we have encountered as designers and producers. But also the best use of design intuition and technology.
