Apple creates face shield for health workers, resists the temptation to call it the 'iMask'

3D Printers

I'm part of an active Ozzie group of 3D printers helping to provide masks to GP and hospitals/medical facilities in each State.

We have 'team leaders' who liaise with the appropriate folks in 'the system' who indicate which design is appropriate to their facility (there are many different designs) so we don't waste time printing stuff destined to the bin, like so many currently online.

It's about putting useable PPE in the hands of those who need it most.

Under the circumstances any way to increase PPE for staff is great and one would hope many of the large manufacturers around the place are able to contribute with useful kit.

So kudos for apple (and Nike, too, I believe, as well as a few others around the globe). Every bit helps, I'm sure.
