The Phantom Catz have joined the SoCal Makers Covid-19 Response effort to supply local medical and other first responders with much needed personal protection equipment (PPE) during this unprecedented pandemic. Working from safe spaces at home, the team has been 3D printing PPE face shield frames and "ear saver" mask tensioning straps. To date the team has delivered over 200 pieces and are expected to be able to produce well over 1000 pieces of PPE over the next few weeks. |
