Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Romaioli used their 3D printer to create unofficial copies of a patented valve, which was scarcely available in Italian hospitals.A hospital in Italy needed valves after being exhausted during the treatment of patients for COVID-19. The hospital's usual supplier said they couldn't make the valves in time to treat patients. So, this started the search for a way to 3D print part of the replica and Cristian Fracassi and Alessandro Romaioli, who work in the Italian start-up‘Isinnova’, offered their company's printer for this job.
