Three federal agencies have teamed up to collectively leverage and accelerate 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing technologies in the fight against COVID-19.

The Food and Drug Administration, Veterans Affairs Department and National Institutes of Health recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding  to formalize a unified effort through which they’ll solicit designs for, produce and test 3D-printed personal protective equipment and other medical supplies to support America’s response to the worldwide health emergency. 

Through the work, the agencies are also engaging in a public-private partnership with the non profit accelerator America Makes, which will act as a sort of matchmaker between the health care facilities that need the agency approved, to-be-printed goods and manufacturing industry insiders with the capabilities to produce them.
