Applied Sciences· Volume 12· Issue 1

Abstract

The importance of 3D printing is primarily that it enables customized production and, through Industry 4.0 technology, enables decentralized production. The article deals with the issue of 3D modelling and 3D printing of plastic respirators in the laboratory conditions of the authors’ workplace. In the above case study, the process of creating 3D models of individual parts of a plastic respirator and the production of a given model using a 3D printer is processed. The article also outlines the trends in 3D printing in connection with Blockchain and their importance on the Supply Chain.
