Door handles in apartments, schools, factories, and old people’s homes are among the most germ-infested items. Designers stand behind our mission to build a better and healthier world, which is why they share free design files for all 3D hand-free door openers worldwide. Careful analyzes from our disease management experts about how viruses transmit suggest that by using our weapons instead of our bare hands, we can work together to stop further transmission of COVID-19.

Working Process:

Designer team has been designed in the view of easy installation. The easy-to-use openers do not need to drill the holes or remove the handle on your door. Setting it up is simple: all you have to do is fasten two 3D-printed parts and screws over your existing handle together.

The power of 3D printing allows our engineers to create quick solutions for the unexpected. Our team was able to create, test, and validate our first hands-free door opener within 24 hours, due to the flexibility and freedom of design through 3D printing.

Features:

  • Simple to use

Engineers designed to make installation quick and easy. This project’s ultimate goal is to help keep people healthy during a time-critical crisis, so they needed to share a solution that is not complicated in setting up. You can simply place the 3D-printed parts over your existing handle instead of drilling holes or replacing handles, and fasten them together with screws. Here you can read and see our mounting instructions, and learn how to set it up quickly.

When your opener is in place, simply open and close the doors by sliding your forearm into the gap between the opener and the lock, pressing down to unlatch, and pulling inwards or pushing out to move. We recommend that you use the device with covered forearms to avoid contact between the device that can harbor germs and your skin. This door opener may become contaminated, just like the door handle on which it sits, so make sure it is regularly disinfected.

Benefits:

  • One advantage of 3D printing is the speed with which our Design and Engineering team can bring ideas to life with the help of powerful additive manufacturing software like 3-Matic and Magics.
  • This design helps humans to get away from the germ, and infection.
  • It reduces the risk of direct contact with the infection.
  • Helping and reducing the effect of COVID 19.
  • This design helps in hospitals and that area of sanitation is a matter of life and death.
