PROJECT FROM ETF RECEIVES A GRANT OF €38,500

Dr. Milena Đukanović, speaking on “Bojama jutra,” stated that the project will last until the end of October and that a unique product is expected, which will make Montenegro recognizable in the fight against COVID-19.

The project “3DP Research and Innovations for COVID-19” from the Faculty of Electrical engineering of the University of Montenegro, in collaboration with the Science and technology park, the Clinical Center, and Vrije University from Brussels, has received a grant of €38,500 from the Montenegrin Ministry of Science.

The team will work throughout the summer on the design of a new product—a 3D printed mask that will indicate if a person has a high temperature. The masks will be made from two types of materials—temperature-sensitive filament and upgraded PLA filament.

Dr. Milena Đukanović, speaking on “Bojama jutra,” mentioned that the project will run until the end of October, expecting a unique product that will make Montenegro stand out in the fight against COVID-19.

“We will create a special mask design. The largest portion of the budget will go towards equipment, which will continue to be used. Now we will have significantly better equipment. Our focus is to engage as many young researchers as possible,” said Đukanović.

Velibor Bošković from the Science and Technology Park stated that the role was to participate in the project through joint efforts.

“In the future, we will support such projects and participate in creating new ideas. We will work together on the full implementation. It has been shown that the potential of 3D printing can be significant,” Bošković said.
