With the outbreak of COVID-19, daily activities in societies have been noticeably disrupted. As a result, many research institutions worldwide have focused their efforts on combating the spread of the virus. This presentation reviews some of the initiatives achieved using additive manufacturing and bioprinting tools. Among these, the challenges in designing and producing hospital ventilators for COVID-19 patients, as well as the fabrication of medical swabs needed for sample collection (part of COVID-19 test kits), will be discussed. Considering the World Health Organization’s predictions of future waves of the pandemic, especially in upcoming seasons, this presentation aims to raise awareness of the challenges facing the Iranian community and foster collaborative thinking to implement simple and effective 3D printing solutions to alleviate the impact of the virus on the economy and public health in the post-COVID era.

This presentation will be delivered by Dr. Goudarzi. In recent years, Dr. Hossein Goudarzi’s research has focused on the intersection of materials engineering and bio-fabrication. He holds a PhD from Sharif University of Technology and is the co-founder and CEO of Sharif Advanced Materials Company, a knowledge-based enterprise located in the Sharif University Technology Growth Center. The mission of this company is to develop advanced nanostructured devices and materials with capabilities for large-scale production and commercialization.
