CASA CRIATURA

In Olina, a historical site in Brazil, the Casa Criatura has started to locally produce medical protection masks and donate them to the municipality’s Health Department in their support to fight COVID-19.

When faced with the Coronavirus, Casa Criatura acted rapidly and adapted their plans to the production of safety gear and protection products. So far, all the products were manufactured with their own resources, using mostly 3D printing. Casa Criatura now counts on donations so that this work does not stop.

PROTECTIVE GEARS

The range of protective gear includes a 3D printed face mask and a door opener that you can find shared together with many more other solutions on our Welder platform, on a section dedicated to the COVID-19.

As per Isac Filho, founder of Casa Criatura

“The idea is not to limit the efforts to the city of Olinda but to try to help all the other regions too.”
