A group of engineering researchers at the University of Arizona is adding its expertise in the fight against the spread and impact of COVID-19. They are using 3D-printing technology to make masks for physicians at Banner-University Medical Center.

The team comes from various engineering backgrounds at UA, and some members of the group had never met each other before starting the project.

Chemical and biological engineer Armin Sorooshian said they began working on the masks last weekend. “This is a really great example of interdisciplinary research coming together very quickly between groups who didn’t know each other a week ago,” he said. The team began designing the masks after a memo was dispatched from UA president Robert Robbins and College of Engineering Dean David Hahn. Materials […]
