The Coca-Cola Company makes their bottles out of PETG, which is one of the best materials to source for the visors on the face shields we manufacture. They've been coming through for us open-source PPE makers in a big way, and at the end of last month we received a GIANT roll of plastic from them via Open Source Medical Supplies, over 1000 lbs worth! We used it to manufacture shields for our 3000 piece order for the Navajo Nation which is currently en route from Chandler to Window Rock, Arizona; 600 visors for UFCW 21 healthcare workers in Washington; and as dental offices are opening, this plastic will be used to supply their requests that are coming in since they generously donated their PPE to hospitals at the beginning of the crisis. Check out this GIANT roll of plastic and how our volunteers cut it down to a manageable size at our partner Ctrl-H's maker space.

Our main customers are healthcare workers and first responders, but in our mission to support them, it's important that we ensure other high-risk workers and the people they come in contact with are protected as well! Lowering the rate of infections helps to ensure the hospitals can manage their incoming patients safely and effectively. We sent out some of our 3DVERKSTAN face shields to daycare workers in New York!

We're so lucky to have a new space donated to us by a commercial landlord in Beaverton, a few doors down from BrainWave Computers. Here's the team getting our new HQ ready and doing some of the receiving, sorting, sanitizing, packaging, logistics, and everything else involved in maintaining and growing our pop-up supply chain of open source PPE! As you can see, there's a lot to do other than 3D printing. Fill out a volunteer form at www.MakerForce.org today, and let us know what skills you have that you may be able to contribute to the cause!
