#OperationPPE puts architects to work 3d-printing protective equipment for frontline medical workers
Across the country, design communities have mobilized to assist in the effort to fill supply gaps in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers operating on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. Last week, Archinect reported on efforts at Princeton, Cornell, and Columbia that are coming together to 3D-print visors and face shield harnesses, fabricate hospital gowns, and manufacture other PPE to serve the region’s hospitals. Recently on Archinect: “Architecture schools are using digital fab labs to 3D print medical equipment.”University schools of architecture are coming together to aid in the coronavirus response.
