Tamarack Aerospace Printing 3D
Masks for Local Hospital
Tamarack Aerospace Group is repurposing its high-tech 3-D printing capabilities and other connections to help the local community now
facing shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "When we heard that
our local hospital, Bonner County General Hospital, was running low on
some vital protective gear, we tapped into our resources to see where
we could help meet
their needs." said
Tamarack president
Jacob Klinginsmith.
Tamarack's
talented team of
aerospace engineers have been
3-D printing reusable, protective respiratory masks based on a design
developed by doctors in Billings, MT appropriately named the Montana
Mask. The masks include a small industrial filter which provides equivalent protection to the N95 mask. Using in-house company resources like
CAD and multiple 3-D printers, Tamarack has been able to produce more
than 60 masks and the efforts will continue until the need subsides.
