By Zero (DBZ), India's largest homegrown 3D printing company today
announced that it has significantly stepped up its support to the fight against
Covid-19. Since the announcement of lockdown, DBZ initiated the manufacturing
of 3D printed PPEs for the frontline workers and has significantly amped-up the
production. Currently, the company has supplied more than 1.5lakh 3D printed
PPEs to 28 hospitals in Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi
including Mumbai's Nair Hospital , Sion
Hospital , Kasturba
Hospital , MGM Hospital
DBZ
is also catering to the mounting need for ventilators and UV sterilisation
robots using 3D printing. In the last two months, DBZ has manufactured 350+
ventilator component sets and 650+ UVC disinfection boxes. These UVC
disinfectant boxes can be widely used by individuals as well as at an
organizational level, especially by banks. These disinfection boxes are useful
for disinfecting cash, incoming courier parcels, reusable masks, wallets,
mobile phones etc.
“3D
printing is the key to manufacturing in the modern world especially with tool
development capabilities, during these extraordinary times. PPE and related
manufacturers have expressed the challenges of ramping up production which
include export and import restrictions due to the pandemic and the ongoing
lockdown. 3D printing, on the other hand, does not require raw materials in a
specific shape or form. 3D printed products are faster to manufacture are not
dependent on traditional supply chain models and also ensures scalability,”
said Swapnil Sansare, Founder and CEO of Divide By Zero. “We are witnessing a
huge spike in demand and expect this uptick to stay for the 3D printing
industry in the post-Covid-19 world. As for now, what would really help is for
the government to create 3D printing hubs and provide incentives to encourage
manufacturers of these printers,” he added.
A
typical 3D printer is similar to an inkjet printer operated from a computer. It
prints 3D objects by successively adding material (usually liquid plastic) in
layers according to a predefined design. Unlike traditional manufacturing, 3D
printing is distributed, which means all it needs is a computer file containing
the design, measurements, and 3D printer to print the component.
The
only India based exporter of
3D printers, DBZ has also collaborated with UK India
