Purpose:
To develop a specific device for pleural drainage in hypertensive pneumothorax.
Methods:
The prototype was modeled from the free version of a 3D modeling application, printed on a 3D printer using ABS® plastic material, and tested in a pleural drainage simulator.
Results:
Pleural drainage in the simulator using the prototype was feasi...

Makerspaces provide communal access to resources such as 3D printers, laser cutters, electronics equipment, and sewing machines. This way, makerspaces aspire to facilitate their users – the so-called makers – in acquiring craft skills, creating products, learning about technology, and meeting other makers. The collaborative qualities of the makersp...
