Within just a couple of hours of launching our Covid Manufacturing Fund, we have already raised thousands of dollars and are processing our first orders. We would like to thank everyone for the support we have received.

We are excited to be partnering with the healthcare collective Make4Covid and the University of Denver to manufacture protective face shields for hospitals in Denver. We are working on manufacturing key components for the Prusa face shield RC2, to be used ‘in the field’ in hospitals that are facing shortages in the midst of this deepening crisis. With the number of COVID-19 cases rapidly growing throughout Colorado, many hospitals are facing shortages in both staff and medical equipment. Rapid production of protective gear is key to protecting healthcare workers in the fight against coronavirus.
