【3D Printing Application】FormBox Face Shield in Two Steps: 3-Second Assembly-Free Creation!
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread, and Taiwan's epidemic prevention efforts have been recognized by many countries around the world, even setting a record of five consecutive days with 0 confirmed cases! Nevertheless, we still cannot let our guard down; the virus is still among us. Today, the editor of 3DMart personally demonstrates how to quickly create an "integrated, assembly-free" epidemic prevention face shield. See the full steps below:
First, we use the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle 3D printer to print the face shield model. Since everyone's face shape is different, you can adjust the model size as needed. This time, we're using BotFeeder PLA translucent white filament. Even though Ultimaker 3D printers are industrial machines, they can still use open-source materials.
After 3D printing the face shield model, pair it with the FormBox vacuum forming machine and transparent cast sheets to reproduce the face shields indefinitely. It only takes 3 seconds to vacuum form a single face shield. Not only is the production time super fast, but the material sheets also fit the model size perfectly, successfully creating face shields in the correct proportions.

Cut the material sheet along the edges of the model, leaving space on both sides for punching holes. After punching the holes, secure it with elastic cotton string or an elastic band, and it's ready to wear and use!
Commuters who must use public transportation daily find it difficult to avoid close contact with crowds. This extremely simple FormBox face shield will be your best choice! Since the face shield will be in contact with your face for extended periods, the FormBox's food-safe certified transparent cast sheets ensure comfortable and safe contact with the human body.
