The COVID-19 pandemic has added a new direction for Creative 3D Technologies; enabling us to assist in the manufacturing of PPE face shields. Duo’s batch printing abilities were improved upon and we’re now printing face shield parts at an unprecedented speed and batch size per plate.

By utilizing Ditto mode, a single Duo is capable of printing 194 face shield frames (model by 3DVerkstan,) within a 24 hour period in PETG! It’s exciting, and a statement of capability, to see Duo print so many parts at once.

We answered a call to assist in my hometown Chicago area and look forward to making connections in our new city of Austin. If you know of someone in need of face shields, please contact us or direct them to the support section of our site for an immediate response. For now, we simply don’t have those contacts but are so eager and very capable to contribute to this fight!
