The Science and Technology Park of Yanka Kupala State University has started production of multipurpose protective screens for doctors
Hundreds of protective screens, which are created using 3D printers of the Science and Technology Park, are planned to be sent to region hospitals.
Just a few days ago, a trial copy was printed in the Science and Technology Park, the effectiveness of which has already been evaluated by doctors.
– At the moment, about 30 multipurpose protective screens are ready. There are already applications for the production of 740 copies, – said Alexander Vasilevich, the director of the Science and Technology Park of Yanka Kupala State University – since 3D printing is not designed for mass production, within a month we will be able to print no more than a thousand of these protective screens. But even this is a significant help for our medical industry now. It takes us three hours to create a single protective screen. But we continue to optimize the process and reduce production time. The first protective screens created in our Science and Technology Park will be sent to those medical institutions in the region that feel the greatest need to purchase additional personal protective equipment for doctors.
This is a social project for the the Science and Technology Park of Yanka Kupala State University: multipurpose protective screens are sold at cost price. Screens are made of high-quality belarusian plastic. At the moment, all four 3D printers of the Science and Technology Park are used exclusively to help provide the region's medical industry with the necessary protective equipment.
