Massachusetts Hospital Seeks 3D Printed Masks for Coronavirus Response
A mask design is available online via freely available STL file. Hospital offers email address for 3D printing users able to help.
The president of Massachusetts General Hospital is asking for the aid of 3D printer users to produce protective masks for health care personnel. An article from NBC suggests that the mask that can be made from this freely available STL file can fill the need. The Massachusetts General Hospital Research Institute provided this email address for anyone interested in helping by 3D printing masks: researchinstitute@mgh.harvard.edu.
