This collection represents a coordinated effort among the NIH/NIAID, FDA, VA, and America Makes to support the manufacturing of personal protective equipment (PPE) or other necessary medical devices that are in short supply due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While many devices can be printed with a 3D printer at home or your local Maker space, the NIH, FDA, VA, America Makes, and the contributing creators cannot ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of these designs when manufactured without proper quality controls and processes. Before submitting designs or producing PPE, please read the starter guide for essential information.
