Prototipado rápido: Espirómetro Basado en Impresión 3D y Código Abierto

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Respiration is a vital process and spirometry the gold standard for respiratory health determination. But, the access to a spirometry study in a health care installation is limited. This is because the cost of equipment and the low availability of specialist. In this work a spirometer based on open software is presented, this reduces manufacturing time, allowing for a iterative prototyping process and diminishing the cost associated with the software licences. The use of 3D printing, free software, and open-source electronic platforms allows for increasingly rapid and cost-effective prototyping. This fosters the development of low-cost devices that are increasingly meeting the standards required for approval by medical device certification bodies, thereby expanding access to these devices and testing for the general population.
