China3D printingNet, April 16th, affected by the new crown epidemic, the Italian luxury car manufacturer, also part of the Volkswagen Group, Lamborghini developed a lung simulator in two weeks to help the production of ventilators. The Sant’Agata supercar manufacturer in Bologna is only a few hours’ drive from the hard-hit Bergamo region of Italy.
Lamborghini has previously used3D printingTechnology for bridge manufacturing, when the company had a problem with the injection mold on its Gallardo car in 2003.Then, the relatively obscure part (headlight washer cover) was carried out by CRP Technology’s first production vehicle3D printing. Since then, the company has mainly used the technology on the factory floor and in the development of cars. With low output and high prices, Lamborghini retains many in-house manufacturing facilities and has many customization options.Therefore, high-end car manufacturers have considerable internal engineering and3D printingknowledge.
So far, the company has used it to make masks, some of which should be very ideal. The company should really sell them for $200 and donate the money! However, they are currently using masks to protect the staff and donating them to the local San Ossola-Malpigui Hospital.
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: “In such an emergency situation, we feel the need to make specific contributions. Therefore, we decided to provide professional advice Support the San Ossola-Malpigui Hospital, which has been working with us for many years with programs and research projects that promote the protection of workers’ health. We will unite and help those who are at the forefront of the fight against this pandemic every day Provide support to win this battle together.”
The company also uses its in-house Carbon machinery to produce mask parts.
“The decoration department will manufacture one thousand masks every day. This department is responsible for the production of Lamborghini interiors and customization. At the same time, they will be used daily in the composite material production plant and in the research and development department.3D printingMachine-made 200 polycarbonate polycarbonate medical protective covers. “
Although it is amazing that what Lamborghini is currently doing is very influential and can prove our technical prowess. 3D printingGood at filling in the blanks and doing what is needed when needed. We are good at iterating, improving, changing designs and making new technologies faster than other technologies.That’s why I like Lamborghini to use3D printingThe reason for cooperating with SIARE Engineering International Group to manufacture lung simulator.
SIARE is an anesthesia and intensive care equipment company, which mainly produces urgently needed products such as ventilators outside the lungs. The ventilator is a strictly regulated device and is a Class III device of the FDA. They need precise tolerances and certifications to work safely and reliably, especially because they take over the breath of the intubated person. Like many competitors, SIARE responded to the unprecedented demand for its products. At present, many open source and manufacturing companies have just begun to produce ventilators to expand their production scale. Frankly speaking, this makes us feel scared. In the long run, I believe that “as long as there are enough eyeballs, all problems will become very shallow.” The prospect of ventilators manufactured or designed in a hurry for use in patients makes us Feel scared. You cannot extend or immediately create tribal knowledge and specific care, procedures, and safety culture. Lamborghini has not switched from crankshaft to ICU, but is helping SIARE expand its scale.
“When the ventilator is fully tested with certified equipment, the breathing simulator enables testers to make a preliminary assessment of the ventilator’s performance before entering the final testing phase.”Lamborghini is using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion to manufacture breathing simulators for testing every ventilator that is shipped from the SIARE factory. They use HP Jet Fusion 3D 4200 to make 18 such simulators every week.The company did not conduct a compelling “make the final part3D printing“Steps instead of focusing on letting ventilator experts build and test more ventilators. The company spent two weeks from conception to “designing, producing and validating simulators, optimizing components” for production. Lamborghini will print and make a lung simulator in its prototype laboratory in Sant’Agata.
China3D printingOnline comment: In the face of the menacing epidemic, weThis kind of thing should be encouraged, and more companies should study how to use it3D printingTo help those struggling to meet their needs.This is3D printingThe technology is most suitable. What we need is to optimize with universal fixtures, fixtures, and new hand tools that are needed quickly. Now the fight against the epidemic is no longer a matter for Wuhan, it is no longer a matter for China, but a matter for the entire human society.
