“I would like to deliver this to patients before we reach a very critical situation,” he said.

We provide “3D printer ventilator drafting data” free of charge to countries / regions in need.

A 3D printer can be produced in about 8 hours.

In the future, we will work on certification procedures for practical use and technical cooperation with countries and regions.
