3D Printing Optimization for Environmental Sustainability: Experimenting with Materials of Protective Face Shield Frames

The motivation for research on 3D printing of protective face shields was the urgent societal demand for healthcare in the fight against the spread of COVID19 pandemic. Research is based on a literature review that shows that objects produced by additive technologies do not always have consistent qu...
