The team of engineers at Robotic Research LLC has created a design for reusable face shields and is providing them to healthcare teams in hospitals around the D.C. area, according to an article on the Yahoo Finance website.
The company also opened up its patented design of its sterile 3D printer by waiving licensing fees globally for any application of the printers related to fighting the current pandemic.
The face shields, which are printed on standard industrial 3D printers are currently being delivered to hospital support teams. The face shield design features an improved disinfection process capability using materials that are compatible with the cleaning methods used at a hospital.
The design has been approved for use in select departments, with broader uses currently under evaluation.
