A fully functioning low-cost computer-controlled ventilator is needed to combat the effects of COVID-19.
To achieve a low-cost ventilator for the third world countries we need you to volunteer yourself and your 3-D printer. We have finished our design work and need high-quality prototype printing with an SLA 3-D printer. Print envelope needs to be 200 x 200 x 200. Some components can be printed by the filament 3-D printing method. There are several components needed for this important work.
The ventilator has various automated features to accommodate the needs of the patient in conjunction with remote interaction with the medical professional supervising the patient. In other words, the doctor might be on the other side of the planet. Low cost is necessary as the virus is indiscriminately attacking anyone and everyone all over the world whether they are rich or poor. A very significant number of hospitals in third world countries typically only have one or two ventilators and have absolutely no hope of helping those affected survive.
If you think that you have something to offer our group we would be delighted to hear from you.
We look forward to your participation.
We seek volunteers for 3-D printers and their master.
Right now we are more interested in candidates who has Resin Ultraviolet 3D Printers.
We will be happy to pay for the materials.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the world's medical workforce fighting COVID-19
Description
Every Year 4.2 million children under 5 are desperate for oxygen. 800,000 mothers lose their child every year because of Pneumonia, a lung disease often requiring oxygen. This toll is higher than for any other disease in the world. What hospitals in the US and Europe consider one of the most essential treatments is not available for many. The problem, oxygen concentrators keep breaking down in the high humidity, temperature and dust environments, burn through during energy spikes when the power comes back online after one of the many outages or simply breaks and nobody knows how to repair it.
We have set out to change this and develop an oxygen concentrator that will make public health investments much more effective. Our first calculations suggest that we could lower the cost of a child's life by as much as two-thirds. Due to our organization working with volunteers we can reduce the development cost but bringing a medical device to market is hard work and we expect that you meet the requirements and are responsive and transparent with your skills and availability. If our mission sounds important and exciting to you, learn more about us on www.ardenmed.com and apply for one of our open positions through our platform! http://jira.ardenmed.com/plugins/servlet/loginfreeRedirMain?portalid=16&request=136
