Press release by SPEE3D – Activat3D copper fights the spread of COVID-19

3D printed ACTIVAT3D copper proven to kill SARS-CoV-2 virus on contact surfaces

Darwin, April 15, 2020

Australian company SPEE3D has successfully developed and tested a fast and affordable way to 3D print anti-microbial copper onto metal surfaces. Laboratory tests have shown that touch surfaces modified by this process ‘contact kills’ 96% of SARSCoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in just two hours.

The process, known as ACTIVAT3D copper, has been developed by modifying SPEE3D’s world-leading 3D printing technology, using new algorithms for controlling their metal printers to allow existing metal parts to be coated with copper. Copper parts are difficult to produce using traditional methods and thus 3D printing may be the only tool available to rapidly deploy copper. SPEE3D technology makes it fast and affordable.
