Largest Hospital System in Europe Installs 60 Stratasys 3D Printers to Support Frontline Fight Against COVID-19 Pandemic

University Hospital Trust in Paris implements fleet of F123 Series 3D Printers to ensure fast on-site manufacturing of vital equipment currently in shortfall
Ensuring its frontline medical staff are equipped with the appropriate equipment during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the University Hospital Trust (AP-HP*) in Paris, France, has invested in a fleet of 60 industrial-grade Stratasys FDM 3D Printers. All of them arrived on Tuesday, 31 March, within 24 hours of ordering.
The installation of the F123 Series 3D Printers provides the AP-HP – the largest hospital system in Europe – with its own internal production arm to ensure fast and on-demand manufacturing of vital equipment currently needed for hospital workers, including protective face shields and masks, electrical syringe pumps, intubation equipment and respirator valves.

Dassault Systèmes and Geico Taikisha push for mass customization in the auto paint shop of the future

MM3D: Multimaterial Multinozzle 3D Printing

Multinozzle printer for creating complex objects, fast

MM3D printing can seamlessly print objects out of inks with varying degrees of stiffness, such as this collapsible origami-inspired sheet. The “joints” are printed from a softer, more flexible material than the “panels,” so the whole structure can be repeatedly folded and unfolded. Credit: Lori K. Sanders

Fast solutions in the fight against COVID-19 through 3DEXPERIENCE Lab "Open Innovation" initiatives

Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, together with start-ups and manufacturers, has launched several initiatives aimed at quickly answering pressing questions about the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiatives leverage the collaborative and swarm intelligence approach of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to quickly identify, qualify, design and manufacture solutions. These solutions are designed to solve current challenges and provide targeted support to hospitals. The initiatives include:

Henkel donates around 50,000 litres of disinfectant

As part of its global solidarity program in the fight against the corona crisis, Henkel has announced that it will make production capacities available at short notice for the manufacture of disinfectants. Within just one week, a production plant at the Düsseldorf site was converted and the first 25,000 liters of hand disinfectants were produced. Henkel donated them to surrounding hospitals and public institutions. Next week, production will continue and about the same amount of disinfectant will be produced again.

Independent and capable of acting in the crisis: self-sufficient supply chains through additive manufacturing

The current crisis reveals the weaknesses of globally networked manufacturing and its dependence on complex, widely dispersed and vulnerable supply chains. In order to remain independent and capable of action in crisis situations now and in the future, 3D printing is the ideal solution for self-sufficient and flexible manufacturing. In this context, new software tools are helping to digitally transform manufacturing.
