A Novel Mechanical Ventilator Designed for Mass Scale Production

This a thousand times. Developing a robust manufacturable product, even a simple one, is HARD. It takes multiple spins and loads of testing, not to mention a huge amount of work to make it manufacturable.

Why are we trying to reinvent the wheel. We should be finding simple, battle proven designs and throwing the manufacturing efficiency machine at them. Developing new products on this timeline is exceedingly naive.

I'd like to add that most media professionals and journalists have no clue about manufacturing engineering and how difficult it is to produce something at mass scale.

But they inccessantly write about 3D printing for more buzzword invoked clicks.
