Faculty and staff members at 今晚六合彩开奖结果 are using 3D printers and laser cutters to create face shields for hospitals in the Baltimore area. The initiative was launched by , a makerspace in Baltimore, and , a group of makers in Baltimore who build sculptures from 3D-printed materials. 

Matthew Treskon, technology librarian; Billy Friebele, MFA, assistant professor of fine arts; and Yanko Kranov, laboratory manager and affiliate professor of engineering, are using a pattern created by in the Czech Republic to 3D print materials needed to build CDC-level recommended face shields.

Treskon operates three 3D printers owned by Loyola/Notre Dame Library to create the two plastic parts for the top and bottom parts of the face shield. The printers can create 12 sets per day. Treskon has donated 24 sets so far and will continue to print seven days a week for as long as there is a need. Friebele is also creating two plastic parts for the top and bottom of the face shields. Kranov makes full face shields using 3D printers and laser cutters in the engineering department at Loyola. According to Kranov, it takes roughly four to five hours to complete one face shield.

鈥淔irst responders and health care workers are today鈥檚 heroes,鈥� said Treskon. 鈥淚鈥檓 glad my colleagues at Loyola and I can use our skills and technology, including the 3D printers from the Library鈥檚 makerspace, to support our community and those that work towards keeping us all safe and healthy.鈥�

Loyola鈥檚 involvement with creating face shields started when Jennifer Sullivan, program coordinator for Natural and Applied Sciences, heard about the initiative by Open Works on the local news. Loyola faculty and administrators worked to bring the initiative to Loyola in a matter of days. 

鈥淚 was amazed at how quickly everyone pulled together to help with this project,鈥� said Sullivan. 鈥淚n less than a week, three community members from different departments started producing face shields and utilizing Loyola鈥檚 resources to aid our local health care facilities in a time of crisis. This speaks to the heart of our mission at Loyola to be people for others. The generosity of spirit, time, and talent shown by Matthew, Yanko, and Billy really captures Loyola鈥檚 Jesuit values.鈥�

Plastic parts and face shields created by Friebele and Treskon are dropped off at an organized location. Open Works takes the supplies and coordinates the configuring by We the Builders and distribution to local hospitals including LifeBridge Health, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the University of Maryland Medical System. 

In addition, face shields created by Kranov are donated to the Sinai Hospital and LifeBridge Health.
