DMT PPE Project on ABC News

Bay Area schools repurpose their 3D printers to make PPE for medical workers. Read More

CUPERTINO, Calif. (KGO) -- When De Anza College in Cupertino closed in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one room stayed open.
Ever since it became clear that there was a worldwide shortage of personal protective equipment, Dunsky and the staff at the school's Department of Design and Manufacturing Technologies have been running the school's 3D printers constantly to make face shields for medical workers.

3D Printing Group Expands COVID-19 Efforts

Since partnering with local non-profit Maker Nexus seven weeks ago, the 3D printing experts in De Anza’s DMT Department have been busy. Mike Appio, Department Chair, and a team of four DMT staffers have been running the Additive Manufacturing Lab’s 3D printers 7 days a week, 20 hours per day, to turn out parts for protective face shields. Maker Nexus donates and distributes the fabricated equipment to medical personnel throughout the Bay Area and beyond. The initiative has rapidly evolved to high-volume production at Maker Nexus and its army of 500+ volunteer “Makers.” To date, the Sunnyvale outfit has delivered over 40,000 of the shields, with orders pending for over 11,000 more.

DMT Producing Face Shields for Health Workers

De Anza’s cutting-edge Design and Manufacturing Technologies program is using its 3D Printing capabilities to assist health care workers on the coronavirus front lines.
