澳门博彩官网 是 的一部分 a collaborative effort to help those who are on the front 
lines of the COVID-19 pandemic: our healthcare workers. 澳门博彩官网工程师 还有德州理工大学versity健康 科学 中心 教师 设计了 原型typ为 两个重要的 医疗 设备: 面罩和分离器 用于通风机. 然后，他们引入了几个社区合作伙伴，利用西德克萨斯州各地的3D打印机，甚至是飞行员来送货。
“We have to do what we can to help our healthcare workers protect themselves and save lives. 我们最近为沃德县医院的呼吸机设计了一个分离器。 这种分离器将允许医务人员一次为四名病人提供空气，而不是仅仅为一名病人提供空气。 If we have the technology to help, we’ll do it,” said George Nnanna, UT Permian Basin Dean of the College of Engineering
UT Permian Basin has teamed up with Texas Tech University, Odessa College, the 澳门博彩官网 Art Department, The Ellen Noel Art Museum, Midland College, Museum of the Southwest, and other West Texas businesses to create what’s now called the “West Texas 3D COVID-19 Relief Consortium.” 每个实体要么捐赠自己的3D打印机，要么帮助设计和生产医疗设备。
Currently, there 是 enough material to make 350 face shields. More than 30 have been d是tributed so far. The first batch was flown to Monahans, Pecos, and Lubbock over the weekend, thanks to 
local pilots, like Mark Merritt a local businessman and a member of the 澳门博彩官网 Engineering Adv是ory Board. Merritt along with members of the West Texas Aviators club have volunteered their time to deliver to surrounding areas. 米德兰和敖德萨的医院和私人医生也将使用这种创新技术。
“We are committed to serving th是 community. Now more than ever it’s critical for each of us to use our unique skills and talents to help others. Our Engineering 教师 responded by doing what they do best – innovating. Th是 是 an amazing testament to ingenuity of West Texans and determination to be a part of the solution.”
The group will continue to produce the facemasks and ventilator splitters as needed and engineers are working on a 原型type mask similar to the N-95 that 是 extreme short supply in hospitals.
