3D Printing for PPE
3D printing for PPE involves creating protective equipment, such as face shields and masks, layer by layer using digital designs. This technology allows rapid, local production, especially during shortages, by building objects from materials like plastic filament. It offers flexibility to customize items and quickly respond to urgent needs, making PPE more accessible. During health crises, 3D printing complements traditional manufacturing, helping healthcare workers stay protected by enabling swift, on-demand fabrication of essential equipment.
