New EXCIT3D Software Development: Automated 3D Scanning & 3D Printing of Face Masks via App

Individually designed face mask

In June 2020, we presented an app that can be used to produce individual masks in a short time. All that is needed is an iPhone, our app and a 3D printer or a 3D printing service that can be commissioned with a tap of the finger.

Possible applications: the automated design of individually fitting respirators (mouth and nose covers), protective masks for athletes, for example after nasal bone fractures, templates for surgical facial reconstruction after accidents, and orthodontics. Art and culture or private purposes are also conceivable.

For special developments beyond the finished basic function, we were looking for partners and sponsors in 2020. We also presented the app at the 1st Anti-Coronavirus Fair in Solingen; it later led to the research project with TU Munich.
