COVID-19 PPE Face Shield
Product Creation Studio is using our rapid prototyping 3D Lab to aid in the shortage of PPE products for people working on the front lines of the COVID pandemic. We created a face shield design to be printed in our FDM printers. With help from some of our engineers’ home 3D printers, we are producing roughly 50 face shields per day.
We’ve supplied face shields to Harborview Medical Center, Swedish Hospital and the University of Washington Medical Center. The need from the large hospitals is lessening and we want to continue making and distributing the face shields to those in need on the front line of the COVID pandemic.
We’re offering to ship face shields to people and businesses in need. Those businesses include medical facilities, clinics, health facilities and essential businesses concerned with COVID safety such as food processing, delivery or other businesses.
We are shipping the product for free, but are asking for donations to cover our cost in materials and shipping.
PPE face shields are made on the Prusa FDM printers and assembled in the 3D printing lab.
In the first three weeks producing face shields for hospitals, Product Creation Studio delivered over 600 face shields to Harborview Medical, Swedish Medical and the University of Washington Medical Center. These hospitals have been the hardest hit in the Seattle area and were in need of personal protection.
Mechanical engineer David Desmarais is shown delivering 175 newly-designed face shields to healthcare providers at Harborview Medical Center. Special thanks to GM Nameplate for help with supplies and to Downstream Therapeutics for delivery!

Please leave a donation of your preference. The donation is not mandatory, it simply helps us cover costs to ship the face shields to those who need them and purchase materials to make more.
For reference, shipping face shields is around $15 for a set of 4 delivered in the PNW. Costs will vary for larger quantities and further shipping distance.
