LUNGSTORS - An open-source blower based medical ventilator

Post by mpetrasinovic »

In the past few weeks, we used FreeCAD a lot for our open-source blower based medical ventilator called LUNGSTORS. Presentation is available at:

Very interesting. Thanks for this open source project.

In the german forum's corona topic we were almost flooded with non CAD related videos. Glad to see this one!

You should apply tangencies where they will be present based on the other constraints. And if something can be achieved with geometric constraints they should be preferred over dimensional constraints. And dont leave loose unconstrained lines. if the size does not matter just add a random length. Dont use zero dimensions. use horizontal.vertical/point on line constraints. Here is a file with those suggestions applied:

Thank you very much for your interest and all of your kind advice. I will make sure that the team read and implement all of this, from now on.

Very nice project Miloš, thanks for sharing! I see Octave in the video, you could add it to the list of used software and maybe for the next project maybe OpenModelica would also be interesting ;)

Yes you are right we use Octave and OpenModelica (even together) but we did not yet publish the source for this (our plan is to mention it in a separate section of the website).
