THE SHIELDING EFFECT
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The outbreak of Covid-19 has resulted in the collapse of supply chains around the world. As the virus spreads across the United States, many hospitals have only days of personal protective equipment left.
We have mobilized our community of makers to use 3D printing to rapidly produce face shields for local hospitals while supply chains are being restored and larger industrial operations are being expanded.

HOW TO HELP
If you are in the Silicon Valley area and have a 3D printer or know someone who does, helping is as simple as filling out the form below and printing the model provided. We are handling all logistics once the parts are produced.
​
Don't have a 3D printer? You can help us by spreading the word and donating, so we can get more makers involved and purchase more materials to keep producing supplies for local hospitals undergoing shortages.
