SmithVent pneumatic ventilator wins CoVent-19 Challenge 3D Printing Events

Three months after the launch of the CoVent-19 Challenge, a winner has been named: the SmithVent. The device, designed by an engineering team from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, is a rapidly manufacturable pneumatic ventilator designed for COVID-19 patients and ease of use. The next step in the design challenge will see the low-cost ventilator being assessed and validated for use in Nigeria.

Be a part of Women in 3D Printing’s next DfAM report AM Industry

Women in 3D Printing, an organization dedicated to uplifting women in the additive manufacturing industry, has announced it is working on a special edition of its annual DfAM report (Diversity for Additive Manufacturing). While past editions (there have been three to date) have focused primarily on the gender disparity in 3D printing, this upcoming edition will address a wider form of diversity and inclusion. As part of its research for the report, Women in 3D Printing is inviting members of the AM industry to partake in a quick survey about diversity in the workplace.
