Face Shields Save Lives!

Through most of 2020, our volunteer 3D-printer team was hard at work printing face shields. We have been handing these out for free during the pandemic. Does your agency or business need face shields? Please make a request, and we'll get you what you need!

Do you have a 3D Printer?
