Daimler offers support with the production of medical equipment in fight against COVID-19 Daimler has offered its support with the production of medical equipment.

With the aid of 3 D printers, individual components can be produced that are urgently needed in medical technology as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic."With our highly competent team and years of experience in 3 D printing technology, we are ready to make our contribution to the production of medical devices," says Jörg Burzer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz AG, Production and Supply Chain.

"To this end, we are also in contact with the state government of Baden-Württemberg.

Our expertise and specialist knowledge is available for production; now it is up to the medical technology sector to contact us.

Our 3 D printers are definitely available."Mercedes-Benz has been gathering experience in the research and application of additive manufacturing for around 30 years.

In the passenger car sector, 3 D printing is usually used in prototype construction and small-series production. Mercedes-Benz already uses 3 D printing machines to produce up to 150,000 plastic and metal components every year. This capacity can now be fully utilized for medical purposes.

All common 3 D printing processes can be used – from stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) to Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
