Description: A shortage of proper fitting and proper grade masks is negatively impacting the healthcare community during this time. This software takes a 3D scan of a face as input, and will generate a sealed, custom-fit facemask that can be 3D printed. This output of the Custom Facemask tool is intended to be a base for further development or modification. I have included one example that will attach respiration filters to the mask (filter created by http://copper3d.com/hackthepandemic/), so others can get idea of what to do from there. Please contact me if you would like me to develop this further. Please share this software with anyone and everyone you can think of that may be able to use it.
