Step 1: Have a medical device professional evaluate this. We have a deep bench of that type of professional in the Twin Cities. We also have Mayo.

Then, if these masks are legit get this to a University 3D printer. University probably has 3D printers to create these masks.

ON EDIT: these 3D printers are already public property. All the governor needs to do is take control of them?

Potential supply chain problem: I don’t know what materials are fed into the printer. Other shortages of different parts will probably emerge.
Tubing, personal protection items for nurses. Parts for medical equipment that need to be replaced. By that time, most of the material is gone, producing re-usable masks.?

1. Can they really make functional N95 mask?

2. sign in at makemasks.slack.com

Makemasks.slack.com connects makers and those who need masks. They have a channel for 3D, and not much activity yet - just set up today. A lot of good collaboration going on.

Thanks!
