WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
To expand access to affordable CPAP masks, strengthen our presence as providers of accessible medical devices, and attract new users and healthcare professionals by increasing brand recognition and building long-term trust in our products and services.
OUR FUTURE
OUR VISION
To build an accessible, sustainable and technologically advanced respiratory-health ecosystem where no one is excluded from treatment due to cost or availability, while promoting innovation and supporting better healthcare outcomes for communities.
Respiratory care should be accessible to everyone.
Commercial CPAP masks can cost between S/3000 and S/6000, making respiratory therapy difficult to access for many Peruvian families.
Aerly PAP was created to explore a more affordable alternative through recycled materials, personalized digital design and 3D-printing technology.

From recycled bottle to personalized mask.
Aerly PAP transforms recycled PET into 3D-printing filament and uses digital manufacturing to develop an affordable mask adapted to the user.
Collection
A post-consumer PET bottle is collected, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Filament
The recycled plastic is processed and transformed into filament using a purpose-built extruder.
Digital Design
Facial measurements are used to model a personalized mask structure in Fusion 360.
3D Printing
The customized mask structure is manufactured through additive 3D-printing technology.
Final Assembly
Medical-grade silicone is added to improve comfort, skin contact and airtight sealing.
More than a mask and engine.
The Aerly PAP engine combines personalized manufacturing with smart monitoring for a more controlled respiratory experience.
Airflow Monitoring
Sensors monitor the airflow supplied by the CPAP system during operation.
Temperature Control
The system records air-temperature variations to support a more comfortable experience.
Humidity Monitoring
Humidity data helps identify excessively dry conditions in the supplied airflow.
Integrated System
Arduino processes sensor readings, controls the motor and displays information on an LCD screen.
CPAP MASK
Personalized respiratory technology.
The Aerly PAP prototype combines a 3D-printed recycled PET structure with medical-grade silicone in the skin-contact areas. Its design focuses on comfort, adaptability and accessible production.
- Lightweight recycled PET structure
- Soft medical-grade silicone edges
- Personalized ergonomic design
- Adjustable support system
- Integrated environmental sensors
- Modular and repairable components
Better breathing with less environmental impact.
Aerly PAP gives post-consumer PET a new purpose. Each donated bottle can provide approximately 11.5 meters of filament, enough to manufacture the structure of one prototype mask.
Research translated into measurable results.
Initial project data demonstrate the potential economic, technological and environmental impact of the Aerly PAP prototype.

Research, design, construction and testing
Promising results from an initial supervised test.
A supervised pilot involving 50 participants reported an average increase of approximately five points in the measured oxygen indicator. Most participants rated their experience as good, very good or excellent.

These findings correspond to an educational prototype study. They do not replace professional medical evaluation, regulatory approval or formal clinical certification.
Questions about Aerly PAP
Learn more about the materials, manufacturing process and technology behind our prototype.
What material is the mask made from?
The prototype structure is manufactured using recycled PET filament. Medical-grade silicone is incorporated into the areas that come into contact with the skin.
Is every mask personalized?
The project proposes using facial measurements and Fusion 360 to adapt the mask structure to the characteristics of each user.
How does Aerly PAP reduce production costs?
Aerly PAP combines recycled raw materials, digital modeling and local 3D printing to reduce material and manufacturing expenses.
What does the smart system monitor?
The prototype integrates airflow, temperature and humidity sensors connected to an Arduino-based monitoring and control system.
Is Aerly PAP already medically certified?
Aerly PAP is currently presented as an educational and technological prototype. Additional professional testing and regulatory evaluation would be required before its use as a certified medical device.
