On May 30th, 2020, SpaceX‘s Crew Dragon took off on top of a Falcon 9 rocket for its second demonstration mission: SpaceX Demo-2, the first with human astronauts on board. The launch took place as scheduled from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Robotics researchers from the University of Southern Denmark have developed the world’s first fully automatic robot to carry out throat swabs for Covid-19. The 3D printed robot swabs (perhaps even using 3D printed swabs) the patients so that healthcare professionals are not exposed to the risk of infection. The prototype has successfully performed throat swabs on several people and is now set to go into operation by late June.

A mob of meerkats at the Cincinnati Zoo now have to work a bit harder for their food thanks to a 3D printed feeder system developed in collaboration with GE Additive. Don’t worry though, the extra effort is a good thing, as the feeder enables the meerkats to forage for crickets and other insects, more closely mimicking how their species dines in the wild.
We’ve seen countless versions of 3D printed face shields and masks for COVID-19, and many have their merits and are making a real difference on the ground. The latest design that has been brought to our attention stands out for a particular reason: it is customizable. A team from 3D scanning specialist Bellus3D recently teamed up with Rhode Island-based 3D printing service R&D Technologies to fine tune and scale production of the personalized 3D printed face mask fitter.
