Origami Mask using HEPA Filter, Faceshield using Upcycled Soda Bottle, Bodysuit using raincoat and gloves

openPPE is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic by a group of designers & makers enabling local sourcing & making of critical personal protective equipment. With the application of origami, and using locally available materials we have deliberately designed this to be low cost & easy to assemble.

Let us know if you need face masks which exceed N95 in terms of filtration efficiency
and are two times as breathable as a standard surgical mask!

[1] About the project
openPPE is a community started by researchers of NYU ITP, and MIT Media Lab. We are looking for the prototypes to be tested in hospital settings for early feedback. If you’re interested or capable of conducting further testing in hospital settings, please reach out via info@openppe.co

[3] Why openPPE ?
High efficiency protective equipment like N95 masks have always been manufactured and distributed through a centralized supply chain, which has been disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Protective Personal Equipment slows the spread of the virus. The slower the spread, the more time hospitals have to prepare.

[4] Design Principles
. Sourcing from local markets.
. Should not depend on advanced additive or subtractive manufacturing equipment
. High/Acceptable Efficiency Low/Mid tech. Avoid tech for tech sake.
