That’s when 3D printing came into play. “Initially we were depending on 3D printing and our clients too used the same technique by downloading the design & specifications to print as many face shields as possible. 3D printing helped us get feedback from medical professionals, alter and finalize the design. The face shields are said to offer added protection to the frontline workers who come in close contact with coronavirus patients. After our first 1000 face shields were 3D printed, we started using the injection moulding and started making anywhere between 5,000-10,000 pieces every day” Reddy added.
