The current corona crisis is shifting the topic of sustainability even more into the focus of our actions. In recent months, there has been a reduction in the number of flights, factories have come to a shutdown, and the otherwise very mobile world has come to a temporary halt. Apart from drastic consequences for our social and economic life, there were also positive aspects.The air quality improved in some places, dolphins found their way back to their bays, and industries moved closer together with creative approaches. In this context, additive manufacturing has also proven what is possible. News of the printing of masks, test equipment and parts for respirators as well as calls for joint actions filled the media.
