Seattle hospital bus drivers receive 3D printed protection for COVID-19 AM Industry
Over the past few months, the COVID-19 pandemic has made some things absolutely clear. Among them is the importance of essential service jobs like medical staff, grocery store employees, delivery people and transit workers. While many people have had the opportunity to work from home in this challenging time, people in these positions have really kept society afloat, and that has come with a personal health risk. Recognizing this risk, a team from Seattle Children’s decided that its shuttle bus drivers needed to be protected from the virus. A unique solution, consisting of a bespoke protective door, was developed by GoProto and Function Foundry with the help of 3D printing.
