COVID-19 and the role of 3D printing in medicine
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue
Abstract
Additional variations on personal protective equipment include protective face shields, such as those designed by Prusa [15]. These simple devices feature a reusable printable headpiece to which a separately sourced transparent sheet of plastic can be attached to create a face shield, protecting the user’s eyes and mouth (Fig. 7 ). Face shield designs completely bypassing 3D printing have also emerged.
