In light of the ongoing global health crisis, ArcelorMittal have reduced their usual production, adapted on a country by country basis in alignment with regional demand as well as government requirements.
The steel corporation is attempting to maintain reduced operations to ensure they can meet customers' requirements.
The company has dedicated the 3D printing expertise of their R&D team to a global effort focused on developing a 3D printed ventilator prototype.
This prototype will be tested imminently in hospitals and, if successful, will massively increase the ability to rapidly produce ventilators. ArcelorMittal are also helping to develop a prototype for a more advanced ventilator which also has the ability, in addition to providing lungs with oxygen, to feeding medicine incorporating AI algorithms.
ArcelorMittal's businesses across the world have now collectively donated to various initiative and used their global network to help facilitate the transfer of equipment to and from the most affected regions.
The business is also offering space to medical facilities to host additional wards.
