The global spread of coronavirus has put ventilator manufacturers under pressure to ramp up production. Due to the epidemic, the supply of essential components has disrupted, which include valves, hoses, and motors. In addition, most of the electronic products come from China which is further disrupting the production of ventilators. Owing to the shortages of supplies and production, the government of Italy are moving towards taking support from the military, contacting with other manufacturers. They are looking to 3D printing with the expectation of scaling up the production of the potentially life-saving breathing machines. A team of doctors in Italy has created a way of delivering oxygen to two people from a single ventilator, thereby doubling capacity. Further, Isinnova, an Italian research institute has expanded its efforts to solve a shortage of ventilator valves in some Italian hospitals using 3D printing.
