ArcelorMittal 사, 3D 프린팅 인공호흡기 프로토타입 개발
많은 기업들이 현재 COVID-19 위기를 극복하기 위해 혁신적인 기능을 사용하고 있다. 특히, ArcelorMittal 사의 R&D 팀은 3D 프린팅 인공호흡기 프로토타입을 개발했으며, 테스트에 성공하면 빠르게 생산 가능하다.
The sudden arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a general lack of medical equipment such as face masks, protective equipment for medical staff and ventilators. Steel giant ArcelorMittal is one of the many companies that have stepped in to make a contribution. The company has developed a first prototype for a 3D-printed ventilator, and is working on a second one.
Using 3D printing expertise
According to Luxembourg magazine Delano, the prototype has been developed by ArcelorMittal’s R&D team in Luxembourg. The prototype is about to be tested in hospitals. If the tests are conclusive, these ventilators could quickly be produced on a massive scale.
The company is now working on a second prototype for a ventilator that would not only provide oxygen to the lungs, but be able to feed medicine incorporating artificial intelligence algorithms.
