FACE SHIELD (COVID 19)

According to the World Health Organization guidance, face shields are necessary for healthcare workers when caring for patients with COVID 19 [1]. As a shortage of face shields has been observed internationally, innovation companies and makers have rushed to answer the need. We as well at IREROBOT are already manufacturing face shields that can be used by professionals or people who have high chance of interacting with COVID 19 patients.

The face shields are based on the design by Prusa Ltd and the strap is based on a design by miksoft. Currently they are made using PET filament on a Prusa Mk3 printer.
