"/>BCN3D – 3D Printing to live
At BCN3D, we are dedicated to helping the global community address the COVID-19 epidemic. For the last six weeks, we have been working closely with healthcare providers, government organizations, and our network of professionals and volunteers to design, produce and distribute parts that have been adopted by a wide range of healthcare professionals in over 50 medical centers all over Spain.
Our main goal was to help these professionals stay safe and comfortable by providing basic protective materials so that they would count on the best conditions to focus on their invaluable work.
As of today, with over 4,200 units delivered and many other actors stepping in to provide long-term solutions through large-scale fabrication methods, we believe that the time has come for us to step aside this first line of production. We will not stop working on new solutions to address this global crisis, but our focus will switch towards research projects – therefore, we will not be taking new requests for protective face shields.
We will come through this global crisis together!

Disclaimer
The protective face shields developed by the BCN3D team have not been tested by the sanitary authorities or officially validated for clinical use. They have been created as a rapid response effort to support healthcare facilities with shortages of medical-grade face masks. The face shields were designed to provide facial protection against the virus.
