WIVB-TV ran a story featuring Albert Titus, a professor of biomedical engineering. Titus is leading a group at UB using computer software to control a 3D printer that is making masks unique to the facial contours of its individual wearer.

“We can now take individual people, scan their faces, and make individual masks. That’s one of the steps we’re looking at and it makes the masks better because they’re for you. They’re 3D printed so you can clean them, replace the filters so you can keep wearing the masks again and again,” Titus said
