由于2019冠状病毒病大流行，全球人口在2020年经历了前所未有的事件，导致在日常生活的大多数方面形成了许多挑战。在此期间，由于全球或局部封锁造成的限制，制造业和供应链网络面临着独特的解构。人力资源减少和运输限制，加上对医疗用品的需求急剧增加，导致与制造业有关的活动达到极限。此外，生产这类设备所采用的非灵活制造方法以及在生产初期用作原材料的产品交货延迟，导致医疗用品市场短缺，而需求却在不断增长。增材制造被用于塑料/金属医疗设备的即时生产，利用了逆向工程、工艺灵活性和打印设备的商业化。与个人合作的小型和大型企业已组织成当地中心，以减少运输时间并加速当地医院所需设备的供应，直到非灵活生产线能够以所需的生产率生产所需的产量。本研究旨在确定传统制造设施在医疗设备生产中面临此类困难的原因，并提出一个框架，其中增材制造方法可以用于所需产品的即时，本地和小批量生产，为不易调整的行业提供时间以启动大规模生产。
The unprecedented events that worldwide population experienced during year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in the formation of numerous challenges across the majority of aspects of every day life. Manufacturing industries and supply chain networks faced a unique decostruction during this period due to restrictions created by global or local lockdowns. Reduction of human resources availability and transportation restrictions linked with the extreme and rapid increase of demand for medical supplies led manufactring related activities to reach their limits. Moreover, the non flexible manufacturing methods that are employed for the production of this type of equipment as well as the delayed delivery of products that are used as raw material at the early production stages, resulted in market shortage of medical supplies while demand constantly growing. Additive Manufacturing was used for the immediate production of plastic/metal medical equipment, taking advantage of reverse engineering, process flexibility and commercialization of printing devices. Small and large enteprises in cooperation with individuals have been organized into Local Hubs in order to reduce the transportation time and accelerate the supply of the required equipment at local hopitals until the the non flexible production lines manage to produce the desired production volume under the required production rate. This study aims to identify reasons why traditional manufacturing facilies faced such difficulties in the production of medical equipment and to propose a framework where Additive Manufacturing methods can be used for the immediate, local and low volume production of the desired product, giving time to non easily adjustable industries to initiate the mass production.
