[0003] The present disclosure relates to additive manufacturing. Background Art

[0004] Hyperbaric chambers are used to treat patients with a variety of health problems, such as infections and embolisms. Hyperbaric chambers provide an environment in which the air pressure level is raised above the air pressure at ground level. When the patient is in the hyperbaric chamber, more oxygen is delivered to the patient. The additional oxygen can allow the patient to better fight infection, and / or can trigger the release of growth factors and / or stem cells. However, the construction of hyperbaric chambers can be challenging. Traditional hyperbaric chambers are constructed as a single piece. Therefore, it may be difficult to construct and / or transport hyperbaric chambers to health facilities, and improvements are needed. Summary of the invention
