Check out DtM-v4.0, the first NIH-recommended #faceshield #PPE designed specifically for production at scale via injection molding. This is a remix of DtM-v3.0, the first NIH-recommended #faceshield designed for #3dprinting. https://t.co/iKYnnpuySC

Thrilled to see my alma mater, @harveymudd, #3dprinting the @dtm_tweets #faceshield for their #HealthcareHeroes. The HMC 3D-printers are at the home of Prof David Harris for fabrication. Engineering Dept Chair, Prof Liz Orwin, is covering supply chain, assembly, and donation!

Here's the video @AP's @tedswarren shot explaining the #faceshield project! https://t.co/ymOwEaFQsM

A familiar photo from @AP's @tedswarren in the most recent @Economist, in an article on #makers and designers in the USA responding to the #coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/68SOy0dPoa

Innovative PAPR hoods made to protect frontline staff from #COVID19 , ready for their journey to ⁦@NIOSH⁩ for testing. A testament to the ingenuity of VA researchers and soon to be available on ⁦@NIH3Dprint⁩ ! ⁦@VHAInnovation⁩ ⁦

[Elizabeth Johansen @elizjohansen]

Experience designing medical devices for low-resource settings influenced how we designed the DtM-v3 #faceshield for #3dprinting and the DtM-v4 face shield for volume manufacturing, both recommended by the @NIH. Take a peek into the design process.#covid19

We donated 175 newly-designed face shields yesterday to #healthcare providers @harborviewmc! Special thanks to GM Nameplate for help with supplies and to Downstream Therapeutics for delivery! #COVID19

[Design that Matters @dtm_tweets]

We just got our copy in the mail, fantastic reference for folks who want to apply #designthinking to #healthcare--especially during this #COVID19 pandemic which has forced caregivers to rethink and very quickly refashion the entire healthcare system.

Today, 4/28, 4:00pm, conversation with Dr. Bon Ku and Ellen Lupton, Health Design Thinking in the Age of Covid-19, hosted by Dr. Matthew Trowbridge, UVA Medical Design Program. https://t.co/RNNpE76sVo @BonKu @ellenLupton @mtrowbr @UVA @cooperhewitt @mitpress

[Design that Matters @dtm_tweets]

Paper in @JAMANetwork recommends #faceshields for #community health: "significantly reduces the amount of inhalation exposure" while being easy to wash for re-use and allowing wearers to communicate without removing the PPE. https://t.co/QP0pPXDL7O

[NFToddler @CooCooForCrypto]

Huge team effort went into telling this story with foremost gratitude to our patient; @PamBelluck for your integrity @KayanaSzymczak for compelling photos and the village that is @MassGeneralNews @yuvalraz2 and #emmyrubin

Great video showing home fabrication of the DtM-v3.0 #faceshield PPE! https://t.co/tYaDrnpucH

[Design that Matters @dtm_tweets]

Go team! Amazed that our @Prusa3D and our @lulzbot3D have held up after more than a month of round-the-clock printing. The #Seattle #maker community is amazing. So many face shields!

[Design that Matters @dtm_tweets]

Dr. Andy Homer, Director of the Emergency Department @UWMedicine Valley Medical Center, accepts a donation of #faceshield #PPE. Headbands 3d-printed by @dtm_tweets and #Seattle volunteers, straps donated by @TrelleborgSeals. Have a printer? You can help! https://t.co/2QmBrr8BQw

[VA Innovation @VAInnovation]

Next up... #PAPRhood design and testing from @VAPugetSound @UW @NIH3Dprint @US_FDA @bethannripley #PPE #COVID

[Design that Matters @dtm_tweets]

Very impressive volunteer supply chain logistics for volunteer #PPE fabrication and delivery from @skjain2 and the team from MakerForce.

The team @OlinCollege is hard at working cranking out #PPE!

[Olin Admission @OlinAdmission]

Huge thanks to Instructor of Design and Wood Fabrication Lucas for an insider tour of @OlinCollege's PPE production...Lucas and the team are working around-the-clock ("What day is today? Blursday?") and we appreciate them!
