Hello,
I am a product design engineer who has moved to Brisbane nine months ago from Scotland (it’s a long story!)
My design engineering company 4c has recently produced a free, open-source design for an easy to make face shield for frontline workers in the during Convid19.
I thought I’d write to make you aware of this, in case there becomes a shortage of these in Brisbane in the coming months.
In terms of the outbreak, I think Scotland is two or three weeks ahead of us here in Queensland.
I thought the maker space might have the facilities and type of people who could help turn out a number of these if needed. Our team based in Inverness collaborated with another company and made 1000 masks with <five people over a week. The design is simple, doesn’t require any special technology or 3D manufacturing techniques.
Please share - Open Source Visor/Face-shield Design
Over the last week, we have come up with a design for a disposable, face-shield for frontline healthcare staff which we are making open-source to any who wish to manufacture it. Some details:
-
It does not require any 3D printing
-
It is made of commonly available materials
-
It has had ICU staff input into the design
-
It has been worn by ICU staff in action with excellent feedback
This is open source to all, and can be made worldwide - our only restrictions are:
-
please give design credit to the Corran Project
-
we don’t want these sold at inflated prices - they are for the common good. Non-profit manufacture, please.
All details here, including manufacturing drawings, guidance and FAQs.
Any questions or feedback please email corran@4cengineering.co.uk
