Academany scholarship!
Last year, Fablab Cuenca received one of the three Academany scholarships for winning the FABxLive Innovation Challenge 2020! As a result, our guru Mickael Pitarresi have develope during the FabAcademy 2021 Course this amazing project for the visually impaired and bling people.

Masks & Robots Trainings at 3D Experience Lab
Masks & Robots is a project to bridge digital divides while creating more resilient communities in the face of COVID-19. It grew out of Julia Hansen and Leo McElroy's work at CIC's fab lab over the course of 2020 to set up distributed production networks for reusable face masks. CIC's fab lab systemized the production of mask kits which were distributed to a sewing network in partnership with the Boston Area Mask Initiative (BAMI). In a few months we produced over 5000 masks. After receiving a
The Bizarre Way We Track Fake Virus Particles That Shouldn't Work
The Lattice Boltzmann Method of modeling fluid flow (computational fluid dynamics) sounds like it couldn't possibly work but it has amazing predictive power. Coupled with Lagrangian Particle Tracking, it's a clever way to figure out how virus particles move around a building.

Easy links to monitor COVID Vaccine approval & distribution
Do you want to monitor progress of COVID vaccines & vaccination? Happy to share some helpful websites here. Approved vaccines You can use Bloomberg's Vaccine tracker webpage, which tracks number of vaccinations in each country, and most importantly to me, a figure summarizing all approved vaccines (screenshot hereafter, as of Feb 1, 2021). Monitor vaccine purchasing agreements across countries Here again, Bloomberg has good visuals with Vaccine Contracts webpage. My favorite visual is copied
High-tech face masks are embracing UVC light for the ultimate in protection
The harmful radiation we ordinarily avoid could help protect us from Covid. Experts say the spread of coronavirus variants means people need to step up their mask game. While doubling up is an option, as is upgrading from a cloth mask to an N95, some high-tech products are emerging to take masking even further by incorporating ultraviolet-C light sanitation. UVC light is a class of radiation with short wavelengths. It's naturally emitted by the sun, but man-made light sources like LEDs can

Therapeutically administered ribonucleoside
Researchers explored the efficacy of therapeutically administered MK-4482/EIDD-2801 to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 infection and block transmission in the ferret model, given that ferrets and related members of the weasel genus transmit the virus efficiently with minimal clinical signs6,7,8,9, which resembles the spread in the human young-adult population. We demonstrate high SARS-CoV-2 burden in nasal tissues and secretions, which coincided with efficient transmission through direct contact.
Simulation-based feedback for popular face mask designs in COVID-19 Ideation Funnel
Background Over past few weeks, the Open COVID19 Community has seen a large number of makers contributing to the safety and convenience of the frontline healthcare workers worldwide, by designing and fabricating face shields and masks. This is a classic case of tools of Personal Fabrication coming together to use global network of fab labs and skillsets to serve for local needs of their medical facilities. Of course, our 3D Solutions have played key role in this pursuit. We, at SIMULIA,

The World Economic Forum COVID Action Platform Andrea Amalfitano, dean of the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, says much is still unknown about a COVID-19 vaccine. From how it differs to a flu shot, to whether we'll need several injections and if we can scale up, Amalfitano delves into what we do know so far- and the known unknowns. The process for creating a COVID-19 vaccine may be different from other common vaccines, Andrea Amalfitano says. How is creating and

UV Sterilizer Box
UltraViolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is a way of attacking the DNA of pathogens so they can’t reproduce. Viruses are especially susceptible to this because they have no cell walls or cell membrane. Using high energy photons in the UV-C frequency band, it’s possible to damage the DNA in pathogens rendering them unable to reproduce and thus sterile. With UV light, there are three frequency bands. UV-A (315–400 nm) would be the standard blacklight that makes neon colors all glow-ey. UV-B

collective wear of face shields
With the end of the lockdown and the recovery of activity, wearing masks is now accepted as the norm. However, masks are not fully suitable for physical works or outside jobs (rain, dust), like in construction jobs. Face shields are an interesting alternative to masks to protect people from Covid 19, we can guess that the efficiency might be high if everybody wears the protection (in the same way as collective wear of surgical masks provides the same efficiency as an FFP2 mask). But there is

ME2300 UV-Clean Face Shield Design
Our group was looking to redesign a face shield to keep the print time down while increasing the comfort and protection for the wearer. Many of the minimalist designs rely on a slim profile which isn't great for long periods of use as it concentrates the pressure. They also often ignore the need to protect from contaminants coming over the top of the shield. Our design seeks to find a balance in these issues through adding a thin shield that fills the gap between headband and shield, and only

Produce an automated process to create custom masks
There are processes on-line describing how to customize the design to fit perfectly the face. WHO : What I have seen so far is the use of: 1) Blender designed by Blender.org 2) with photogrammetry (https://www.capturingreality.com/RealityCapture-PPI 3) and a STL file for the base mask and a very tedious manual process. This process reminded me what was existing before we created GDE and automated the process. We should be able to come up with a parametrized model in

Brainsight.AI : for better psycho-social support for COVID19
WHY: The COVID19 pandemic is nothing like we have seen before. But something even more scarier is on the horizon. Over the next few months or years, we can expect COVID19 to induce or exacerbate mental disorders in vulnerable people, and see behavioral effects of persistent distress within the general population. The closest comparison is the Great Depression, in the aftermath of which there was increased incidence of depression, anxiety and suicides. So how do we scale mental health services
