Abstract
There are three general categories of facial coverings in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: respirators such as N95 respirators, surgical masks, and community masks. This chapter describes the similarities and differences between each, and the experience from the University of Cincinnati in 3D printing several open-source designs for protection during the peak of the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
