I have started a free distribution of three-dimensional(3D) files of masks which can be printed from a three-dimensional (3D) printer in the easiest way with Mandro, a medical development company. Ten years ago, I was commissioned by a K-pop artist to make this design of mask for musical performance and music video. (In the contract with the company, I have the authority to design a mask.) At that time, Mandro, was a 3D printing company, had printed it, and recently, Koika requested a printed mask from a 3D printer used to be Mandro and I started developing the mask with Mandro, based on the mentioned mask.
Below are the observed disadvantages of masks printed on numerous 3-D printers that have been developed so far:
- The manufacturing process is long and complex, or it is difficult to obtain a filter for these masks.
- Consumers have difficulty living in society while wearing it because it is bulky or heavy like a gas mask.
- Users should be able to print out using minimal support.
- The mask which we provide ought to have the right design for social activities.
- Minimize working hours should be taken when completing this mask
- We plan to upload the 16 models of masks in 3D files to match the different sizes of the nose and cheekbones; physiognomy(facial features).
- Now, we are finding ways as to how we can share face-scanning files and modified masks files from other users.
We are selling the subsidiary materials online for mask users and Subart will use/ utilize/ donate all the proceeds from the sale for areas vulnerable to Corona quarantine.
