Huge shoutout to Mr. Brosch, Notre Dame’s STEM Coordinator extraordinaire, who set up our 3D printers at his home so we can begin contributing to the St. Louis Region High School PPE Response — a combined effort of Washington University, BJC, and the Face Shield Initiative. ND will help combat regional hospital shortages by 3D printing Personal Protective Equipment for local healthcare professionals. Using the National Institutes of Health’s approved PPE designs, we will be 3D printing parts for face shields that will go not only to BJC facilities, but hospitals and first responders throughout the region! We are pledging all of our 3D printers, which will be remotely operable by NDHS robotics lab students via the cloud.
UPDATE:
Notre Dame contributed over 100 face shield headbands before the initiative reached its goal!
