We have started to 3D print and produce face shields based on the open source design by Prusa for first responders. We did not do much modification on these Face Shields as we think they are beautiful for our first responders, medics, and professionals just the way they are. We just added some customization for the intended users and a logo. As we produce more we may reevaluate what improvements we can make.

If you know someone that needs a face shield we are happy to help in this fight against COVID-19. Our office is in Santa Clara, CA USA.
