Students and faculty use at-home 3D printers to manufacture visor support pieces for frontline workers

“Need your help!” The email subject line caught Anthony Tkalec’s attention right away.

Tkalec is a computer engineering student at Concordia. He didn’t hesitate when Wael Saleh, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering (MIAE), put out the call for anyone with a 3D printer to manufacture the support pieces for protective visors used by frontline workers at the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM).

“When you see that people are dying all around the world, you want to do anything you can,” computer engineering definition. And so he immediately moved his 3D printer to his parent’s garage in the Montreal West Island municipality of Dollard-des-Ormeaux and got to work.

In the week that followed, he made 45 of the flexible support pieces that attach transparent visors to people’s heads.
