We have turned our rapid prototyping resources over to assist with the fight against the threat of Covid-19 to healthcare workers on the front line. A critical shortage of PPE has been a recurring news topic recently, so we set our 3D printers to work manufacturing parts for face shields. All three of our printers are now running continuously, manufacturing parts to an open-source design.

This is not a commercial venture for us in any sense but is a way in which we can contribute to the national effort. We’re delighted to be able to help.
