WQOW covered our volunteer efforts to supply PPE for local healthcare workers and first responders.
The shields are being produced with the help of 3D printing, something not commonly used in mass production. Volunteers, who are now working under the name Chippewa Valley Makers, provide the university with the 3D printed visors. From there plastic shields are attached by UW-EC volunteers, and then the finished shields are bagged up and made available to local healthcare facilities.
