With face shields in short supply, Malaysians bring 3D printers into Covid-19 fight

The designs were shared using digital files, which means that anyone with a 3D printer can print out the same design at their own location. At the time of writing, 67 3D printers were listed as being committed to this initiative, with locations spread out throughout the country such as in the Klang Valley, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Sarawak and Sabah.

“Both Mak and me were involved in 3D printing for many years and had the same idea that we needed a platform to help using our knowledge in 3D printing. The main idea was just to gather some resources to help where we can. We know the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing and ways we can help. As for the 3D printing initiative under this platform, Wan who has over 30 3D printers under his facility MinNature 3D Prints will be the main coordinator.

“For Klang Valley, it will be Taylor’s Lakeside Me.Reka. We will be looking to establish the other locations around Malaysia. Please bear with us as it will take time especially during this MCO lockdown.
