A heroic engineering student from northern Italy has helped the fight against COVID-19 by 3D printing valves for ventilators that are needed for patients suffering from coronavirus.<br /><br />Footage captured on April 2, shows how the machine is working to create the valves.<br /><br />Further footage shows the collection of already made valves.<br /><br />The filmer explained: "I was asked to 3D print these ventilator valves to help with the COVID situation we have in Italy. <br /><br />"These valves are part of an Italian project to use scuba diving masks as ventilators in our hospitals. <br /><br />"Since I have a pretty simple 3D printer I tried to increase my time efficiency by automating the removal of the finished parts and the start of the next print.<br /><br />"I need to stress out that I did not invent these valves, I just implemented the right 3D printing technique for the right application."<br /><br />A 3D printing franchise asked people to help with the fight against COVID-19.
