The enclosed instructions for use also serve as a template for the production of replacements.<\/p>\n<p>The moulds and standard parts were supplied by Strack Norma, while L\u00fcdenscheid-based Werkzeugbau WiKa Erodiertechnik GmbH produced the high-precision tool for the face shields in the shortest possible time, with support from Deggendorf University of Technology.<\/p>\n<p>Production occurs at the PPK a Kierspe-headquartered manufacturer of plastic and medical products.<\/p>\n<p>Medical technology company UTK Solution is the fourth partner in the project, and will support the sale of the face shields.<\/p>\n<p>The close cooperation between the partners meant that the project could be completed in just 14 days, proving just how powerful collaboration can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there are a great many suppliers currently flocking to the market with 3D-printed face shields, the majority require long production times in mass production.
