Led by Cornell engineers, a team of students, faculty and community members have been 3D printing face shields for health workers. They delivered the first batch to two facilities on Friday. Similar 3D printing movements have popped up across the U.S.
Since then, Cornell researchers, students and professors have teamed up with community members to create about 400 face shields. Kuceyeski delivered that first pallet of 3D-printed protective gear to two health care facilities Friday. The group's first shipment contained a mix of headband-like clips that health care workers attach a plastic shield to, and thehemselves.
"When I get scared, I want to do something about it," said Kuceyeski."And I think that's the general tone of people that are approaching us and wanting to join this movement is that they want to do something to help, whether it's two or three visors, or if it's 400." It took about 50 people and 100 printers a few days to meet their quota, but the group aims to amp up production to 500 to 1,000 face shields a day.
