# **Folding Intubation Box**
_04/08/20_

Based on the [feedback](feedback.md) that the doctors gave us on the last version of the [intubation box](https://gitlab.cba.mit.edu/zfredin/intubation-station) Zach and I made, I decided to start from scratch with a total different approach to this intubation box.

It is proposed a folding kirigami intubation box. Points that we are solving immediately form the feedback are:

  - Completely transparent
  - No sharp edges
  - There are no worrying gaps

Added extra interesting features are:
  - From a 4 x 8 ft sheet of PETG two intubation boxes can be made
  - Cutting on the Zund in 3.5 min per box
  - Flat storage
  - Protective plastic that helps on deliver non-contaminated devices

On the other hand, _**there are two aspects we have to iterate on this design**. One is **it is more than 20 seconds assembly**_ and the other one is that _**on the patient side of the box, the structural integrity can be improved**_. We will work on that points towards.

For the time being, this is de 2d design and the folded device.

Mock-up has been made with a 4 by 8 ft PETG sheet 0.5mm thickness. Cut on the Zund with the EOT1 and z22 blade, 100mm linear velocity and the creasing tool at 500 mm/min.
