In 2020 the inventor Cristian Fracassi and his team were able to turn a diving mask into a respirator through the use of 3D printing by creating the "Charlotte Valve", solving the respirator shortage crisis that hit hospitals during the coronavirus epidemic and saving countless lives.
"In one breath" NFT collection narrates this incredible story, featuring 7 digital artworks created from the original 3D files of the valves and diving masks.
The achievements of Cristian and his team have become an international symbol of life-saving innovation, to the extent that the Charlotte Valve is now on display at the most important museums in the world.
Now you can help us write the next chapter of this story. Proceeds from NFT sales will support Cristian and his team in developing new innovative life-saving projects for hospitals.
Sharing #7
The artwork represents the power of sharing in times of need.
The Charlotte valve works and patients are able to breathe. Hospitals from around the world are now in need of thousands of valves, but Cristian and the team cannot keep up with all the demand on their own. Time is short and they need to find a solution quickly. They have the ingenious idea to create a website that allows users to download the 3D file of the valve so that anybody with a 3D printer can print it. Cristian, therefore, asks people to share the news and to print the valve to donate it to the hospitals and health centers. The news spreads all over the world and hundreds of thousands of valves are donated to hospitals by companies, individuals and makers, saving countless lives.
