The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the shortfalls of global supply chains. Demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has outstripped supply and the UK is struggling to provide front-line healthcare workers with the vital protection they need.This project aims to design and gain regulatory approval for a face mask that meets the standards for protection of healthcare workers against COVID-19 and can be manufactured at a rate of 2,500 masks per day. Our team will deliver a product in a highly compressed time scale by using innovative manufacturing techniques that remove the expensive and time consuming tooling stage necessary for mass production. UK based manufacturing will be used to ensure that the NHS is protected from the volatility of global markets and manufacturing streams.

COVID-19大流行暴露了全球供应链的不足。个人防护装备 (PPE) 供不应求，英国正在努力为一线医护人员提供所需的重要保护。该项目旨在设计一款口罩并获得监管部门批准，该口罩符合防护医护人员免受 COVID-19 侵害的标准，并且每天可以生产 2,500 个口罩。我们的团队将通过使用创新的制造技术，在高度压缩的时间范围内交付产品，消除大规模生产所需的昂贵且耗时的加工阶段。英国的制造业将用于确保 NHS 免受全球市场和制造流程波动的影响。
