This group led by Dr. Rakesh Tuli, Dr. Prashant Jindal and Dr. Mamta
Juneja had already developed an indigenous FDM 3D printing machine
which is now being extensively used to produce these pieces. This
centre has a well established facility of 3 such printers to produce
more pieces. Undergraduate students(Vijay and Sahil) have been working
in multiple shifts to alleviate this shortage and so far a commitment
of 50 such pieces has been made.

Further assistance in collaboration with TBRL, Chandigarh during this
crisis period is being explored for producing other PPE and intricate
ventilator connectors.
