This article presents a critical study of the development of solutions for the application of 3D printing technology for public health in a university hospital in the Brazilian public network, in the context of a pandemic of covid-19 that hit Brazil and the world in 2019. It presents as a theoretical and methodological basis the design and its levels of intervention. The authors describe three different application cases at the local level, being two at product level and one at system level and analyze qualitatively using an analysis framework at the product, process and paradigm level, developed by Corsini and Moultrie (2019). As a result, critical aspects of each case are presented and discussed, as well as opportunities for improvement and suggestions for further studies, and it is emphasized the implementation of a digital fabrication center in a public hospital as a systemic alternative for dealing with the problems identified in the research.
