Abstract

3D printing is currently a booming technology and a useful tool in the fight against COVID-19, because it allows the construction of personal protective equipment at low cost. This work presents the implementation of face protection visors using 3D printing and accessible materials, for this the 3D design of the support structure is carried out and the components required to build the protection visors are described. The results detail the resources used and the production times to deliver the face shield to the beneficiaries. It is concluded convenient to use 3D printing in the manufacture of personal protective equipment and the delivered face shield avoid direct contact with patients or possible carriers of the virus.
