Concept

Furnace filters contain HEPA material that claims to trap very small particles. This material is readily available. Can we make a mask that uses this material to filter out viruses? PET is a food safe material used in food packaging and bottle manufacturing. Can we reuse this material to make the mask and filter holder?

1. 3d print or CNC the form.
2. Cut apart pop bottles to get sheets of PET.
3. Tape sheet to frame with packing tape.
4. Heat the PET in Oven
5. Form the PET using your vacuum cleaner.
6. Cut out the parts with scissors.
7. Cut apart a furnace filter.
8. Fold the filter media.
9. Place media in filter.
10. snap cover on filter.
11. Attach to face with elastic material (shoe strings will work)
12. Remove and dispose of filter. Wash with warm soapy water.
13. Reuse.
