Online published on 9 April, 2021. Abstract World Health Organization has recommended Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent and control spread of Covid – 19 pandemic, which includes gloves, face mask, face shield, head cover and rubber boots. Medical practitioners are recommending use of Aerosol Box and Isolation Testing Stations to ensure safety of both the care givers and the patients. During the tough times of Lock Down announced by majority of the affected nations, distributive manufacturing of clinical needs of health care professionals by efficiently employing the locally available facility and without involving extensive transportation is extremely beneficial. Here, the article focuses on 3D printing technique which is useful in producing the protective equipment quickly and enhances the medical infrastructure of hospitals handling Covid – 19 pandemic.
