**2 March 2022**

OPT Industries was featured in [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/01/mit-spinoff-opt-ramps-up-production-of-its-3d-printed-nasal-swab/), highlighting that UK-based LumiraDx has added OPT InstaSwab™ to its list of approved swabs — the first 3D-printed product to earn that distinction.  
“With the ability to print around the clock, the firm also believes it can play a pivotal role in addressing supply chain concerns — a long-time goal for additive manufacturing,” writes Brian Heater for TechCrunch.
