description | The current technological advancements in emerging 3D printing technologies are indeed propitious. To date, ground-breaking 3D printing technologies are used in automobile, aerospace, clothing, pharma, and biomedical industries by creating pre-requisite engineered and tailored end-user products reaching standard sets. 3D printing is also becoming a crucial technology in support of enhanced health care and general emergency response since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world is facing a significant lack of medicinal supplies, manufactures are struggling to fulfill demands due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in the diagnostic testing kits supply chained to increased interest in 3D printed Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs. This article has reviewed and studied the sensitivity of the NP swabs and various NP swab designs. The process of different 3D printing technologies that are employed to address the swab shortages during COVID-19 is explained in detail. The paper ends with the conclusions drawn from the literature review. |
