A crowd driven initiative to combat COVID-19
Race 2 Breathe is an initiative that aims to connect and tool people globally to help combat the current COVID-19 crisis. Our goal is to build a network with medics, 3D print designers and Printer owners and Companies that deliver 3d printed equipments for hospitals. In an effort to make sure hospitals globally keep having access to these much needed supplies. Our aim is to build the platform needed for all individuals to collaborate, produce and deliver.
We are looking for
3d print facilities
We need to map who can print and where the printers and supplies are located. Professional Fab Labs and private individuals, everybody can help
Medics and doctors
We are already onboarding hospitals. As soon as the application that is being built for the AP-HP is ready you will be notified. After registration in the application, you will gain access to all the 3D printed products in the catalog.
3d print designers
Parts need to be prototyped in fast pace, we need support from experienced makers to join projects and opensource the designs needed and validated by medics.
to produce
Face shields
Faceshields are in high demand, they are easy to produce with existing 3d print technology, requiring afterwards the validated filters.
respiratory valves
Respirators have parts that need to be replaced. These parts are hard to get a hold on fast in times of crisis. We want to print them and deliver Just In Time.
2 way valve splitters
Studies show that more than one patient can be ventilated using just one machine, 3D printed parts that split the tubing will help doing so, only after validation by the hospital's operators.

Medics
Rapid delivery needs rapid delivery. If you are a medic preregister to gain access to the 3D-COVID application as soon as it launches.
3d CAD designers
Do you know how to rapidly prototype parts using a 3D printer? Then we are looking for you. We have several project teams that could use your skills in designing the parts needed by hospitals.
