WASP is now sharing an entire process that, starting from a 3D face scan, allows you to create and customize a mask for each operator. The material used is PCL (polycaprolactone). It is a biomaterial that can remain in contact with the skin. The masks were 3D printed using Delta WASP 4070. After designing a basic model that follows facial features just like a second skin, WASP’s goal was to make the mask perfectly ergonomic, which was achieved using Blender software. The mask can be disinfected and used several times, while an interchangeable filter must be inserted in its central part. It takes about four hours of printing to create a mask that perfectly adheres to the face eliminating irritations caused by extensive use.

WASP releases the project as open source. Instructions and .stl files for download are available here. WASP used photogrammetry as a scanning method since it can be performed using a mobile phone. If necessary, a manual laser or structured light 3D scanner can also be used.

I have downloaded the file, and see that there is a .fff file, which I’m assuming is a script for the 3d scanning. How do I go about using this?

Thanks

How do I simply just drop this file into cura and start printing for my local health care workers, cleaners & security officers who have to go to work in order to keep things moving.

I have a 3 d printer but to be fair I’m not very good at the software side if things.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Forget that, I figured it out. Many thanks again.

Can you share please, because i am wondering the same and did not figure out yet

[Mathew Jones]

Guys, this is amazing thank you! I have the downloaded the zip file. is there a document explaining the process anywhere?

Thank you!

[Mare Robert]

Thank you guys! The question is what filters should i use? Can someone recommend me any good type of filters?

 

Thanks!

[Lavell Hampton]

Did you use supports?

 

[Michael]

Which photogrammetry app would you recommend for Android?

[daniel]

hello,

 

Can you share the process?

[Brittany]

Would it be possible to get the .step version of the files?

 

[naz]

positive pressure means?

Hi, what kind of filter did you use or you can use?

I’m thinking to take out a pice of an HEPA filter or some vacum dust bag material (0.3 um). Any other ideeas for a better filtering (ffp3 standard or N99).

Thanx!!!

made it from pla. Just dip in warm water and fit over face for the final fit. PLA glass transition temperature 60 degrees.

I don’t think is very safe to breathe PLA like this. Be carefoul.
