3D Printing Face Shields for Medical Personals
With the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, many hospitals were running out of personal protective equipment such as face shields. We want to utilize our resources and print face shields for local hospitals.
The reusable face shields that we currently produce use a design that has been evaluated in clinical settings and was recommended by the National Institute of Health as part of their 3D print exchange program. They provide comfort and extra protection.So far, we have donated over 1500 3D-printed face shields and 620 N95 masks to 27 hospitals and organizations in 17 cities and 6 states below. We continued to receive requests from local practice doctors and hospitals seeking more face shields and masks.
