3D Hubs Launching the COVID-19 manufacturing fund

As the coronavirus continues to spread, medical facilities and hospitals are under an increasing amount of strain. Many organizations are lacking the sheer volume of critical medical equipment needed to treat sufferers of the virus.

Hundreds of people worldwide have stepped up to offer their time and expertise to design parts for this critical medical equipment. But, for many of these initiatives, the funding and the ability to manufacture parts at scale is missing.

As a global manufacturing network, 3D Hubs can call on its hundreds of manufacturing partners across the world to produce the parts needed fast.

How to receive funding for your COVID-19 related projects

To make sure patients are treated with the critical medical equipment and machines needed, 3D Hubs has set up a fund to provide the money and resources to produce crucial parts.

If you are an engineer designing parts for COVID-19 related projects, but lacking the funds and production facilities to manufacture the parts, we invite you to apply to The COVID-19 Manufacturing Fund.

If your project is accepted, 3D Hubs will ensure you receive the money, access to our global manufacturing network, as well as expert DfM feedback on your designs.

Please note, The COVID Manufacturing Fund is intended to help those lacking financial support, such as grassroots initiatives and not for profit organizations. If you are acting on behalf of a business, please upload your parts directly to our platform. 3D Hubs will still ensure you receive your critical parts within a short time frame.

How to donate to The COVID-19 Manufacturing Fund

For anybody who would like to donate toward this cause, 3D Hubs has set up a fund to raise money for these COVID-19 related projects. You can donate and support these efforts on our GoFundMe page.

3D Hubs will also be donating all of its profits from COVID-19 related projects – both commercial and non-commercial – back into the fund.
