National 3D Printing Society

#N3DPS are donating Protective Visors which cannot be used in the UK to countries with less access to #PPE like these in use in Moldova! We believe that everyone in the world who needs #PPE should have access to it, no matter what it says on your passport. #PrintingToProtect

We're saddened to announce that due to new government guidelines from the Office for Product Safety and Standards we are unable to continue our COVID-19 PPE initiative. Please read our full statement at bit.ly/2YOW8Xf 1/3

This decision has been made with a very heavy heart and the board would like to say a huge thank you to every N3DPS member who joined the fight against COVID-19 and everyone who donated. We will be donating all remaining visors to countries that are able to use them. 2/3

Also a big thank you to our partners for their support throughout this initiative. @igusUK @MedSupDriveUK @RSComponents @ByBox @DesignSpark @GAPGroupHire @ShieldCollab @nottscommf @SHIRAZPLASTIC @ArtSystemsLF 3/3
