Apple publishes the necessary documentation to manufacture face shields

Face shield

We already know that Apple has designed its own face shield screen. Has already manufactured and donated hundreds of thousands for the protection of health professionals and personnel who are in the front line of battle against the fight against the happy coronavirus.

The company is aware that this pandemic is worldwide. No matter how many screens I make, obviously will not be able to supply all the demand of such shields that are needed all over the planet. For this reason, it has just published detailed manuals and drawings on how to make these face shields. To make them at home you must be a little handyman and get the right materials, but it will help any small workshop to be able to manufacture and supply them in their region.

The truth is that it is a good idea, and any initiative is good to help fight the Covid-19 pandemic that is affecting us so much. It will be helpful if there is many workshops that can manufacture screens on a small scale.

Una aluminum window joinery that I know in Mataró (Barcelona), has designed its own face screen. It is making them to donate to hospitals and aid centers for professionals fighting the coronavirus. Many thanks to David García, owner of said workshop.

Apple's idea is that: published plans and instructions necessary so that any workshop in any town with a minimum of machinery can manufacture their protective face shields and be able to supply them in their region.

In this documentation, Apple provides several design files to use in the manufacturing process. These files include instructions for the general process, 2D cut files, and specific manufacturing files for each component of the face shield.

Apple also notifies that in case you need more help with the manufacturing process, you can request it at the email address faceshieldmake@apple.com. Once again, bravo for Apple.
