Flashforge 3D Printing Partners Responds To COVID-19

 

COVID-19 takes hold over the globe, we have to follow travel restrictions, social distancing measures, and work from home policies. The protective materials, like safety goggles and face masks, are going to shortage and social health care systems face unprecedented challenges every day.

It was a terrible day. But we still live in the best times, as even the common people can do more and faster with the help of technology. In the 3D printing community, people start to design and produce protective objects with 3D printers. Flashforge users are a part of them.

 

In China, over 200 Flashforge Guider2 have been used to produce 3D printed safety goggles since February 2020. Flashforge partner in Hunan province finish design, refine and finalize the 3D printed safety goggles in two weeks. More than 5000 pairs of 3D printed safety goggles have been fabricated and donated to Chinese hospitals. With 200 Flashforge Guider II print farm, the daily output can produce around 2000 pairs. In the future, daily production can rise to 10000 pairs if it is necessary.

In Mexico,a 12-year-old boy in Mexico is doing his part in an effort to battle the coronavirus, by making masks and visors from a 3D printer to give to medical professionals. He has made over 100 pairs  of face shields with Flashforge Finder and donated to the local hospital. The ideas came bout from the need for doctors to cover their faces, as this COVID-19 spreads through the eyes, nose, and mouth. The doctor reflected that the 3D printed face shields are light and very useful for them. They are being used over many hours and easy to clean. Learn more,please see the news source.
