Nasal Swabs
Testing is a large part of the equation to ensure that we are able to collect data on the spread of COVID. Yet we've often heard the test kits are not available, or they are reserved for only the elderly and healthcare workers. If we want to capture the data properly getting more tests out there is necessary.
At Tinkerine our 3D printing technology is one called FFF. Due to the intricacies of nasal swabs and have small they need to be. This design is best printed with SLA or DLP. preferably in a resin that has slight flexibility after curing. The swab necks are tiny, while this version if designed to be SLA printed we are still trying to figure out a way to FFF print the swabs if possible. It may be better to open a mold and injection molding this in mass over 3d printing to really scale this.
MAKE SURE THE PARTS ARE FULLY CURED before use.
