Recently, the Italian car brand Ferrari and Italy's largest respirator maker Siare?Engineering together to discuss the production of respirator parts, Siare's president said the car company's experience in production will help, and hoped that the car maker will be able to produce some of the respiratory parts on behalf of the maker. Not only Ferrari, but European governments are inviting automakers, including Ford, General Motors and Nissan, to boost production of ventilators and other equipment, which are so desperately needed for the new Crown pneumonia outbreak.
In response to this, Siare said he would like to see the automakers produce parts for the ventilators.
In response to the request, the automakers said, "Medical equipment is a new area for us. But once we understand the need and get the design, we can start manufacturing."

Don't look at the two industries as completely unrelated, but in fact, they share some ****ing characteristics; both the respiratory business and the car makers rely heavily on electronics and pneumatic equipment. In addition, the industrial 3D printing technology that automakers have at their disposal can go some way to alleviating the immediate need. Suction machine housings, thermometer gun housings, etc., can actually be produced anywhere in the world as long as the design files are available - instantly transmitted to any factory with a 3D printer around the globe, quickly produced and manufactured, and assembled into a product for use in hospitals and other organizations.

But although Ferraris have converted their product lines as quickly as possible, it's always a long way off, and its ultimate effect is yet to be tested in practice.
