Conditions of asthma aggravates in patient due to severity of air pollution. Masks serve as a critical barrier, protecting individuals from exposure to polluted air. Research reports suggest majority of the inhaled air that people breathe-in passes through nose.

This design project proposes a 3D-structured, aesthetically appealing nose mask with replaceable filter media that not only offers efficient cleaning of inhaled polluted air but also ergonomic fit to the wearer. This mask is designed using advanced facial 3D scanning techniques, aligning it with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The present work addresses the challenges associated with conventional masks, such as fit, comfort, filtration efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The proposed solution aims to enhance utility for users while minimizing ecological impact.

This research explores the complexities of mask design, including material selection, ergonomic considerations, and the integration of advanced filtration technologies to ensure comprehensive respiratory protection. The scope of this study encompasses the design, development, and an evaluation of a personalized 3D-printed nose mask, highlighting its effectiveness, sustainability, and practical applications in real-world scenarios.
