Craftbot USA Successfully Launches a #3DPrintToProtect Movement to Empower Communities and Frontline Workers
As businesses start reopen, CraftBot USA has launched a #3DPrintToProtect initiative with hospitals, print shops and local community initiatives such as the Be Safe Project, launched by 18-year-old Washington D.C. native Gabriel Wittes to help communities better protect themselves.
CraftBot began this initiative to fight COVID-19 by setting up a unique Rapid Local Manufacturing (RLM) farm concept consisting of 12 3D printers printing and manufacturing face shields within a two-week timeframe. The RLM farm produced over 5,000 shields, which were given away to local Hungarian hospitals and businesses to help protect their frontline workers. With the RLM concept proving effective, the initiative was shared with distributors in various countries to empower them through hardware and software support.

“We are keen to support our frontline workers by giving the masks for free as a show of appreciation,” said Gabriel Wittes. “CraftBot donated four printers as part of our RLM set-up along with a stock of filaments. The CraftBot Flow IDEX can produce 2,000 masks per month and has been instrumental in meeting our production goals.”
“People are feeling powerless and they want to help. For this reason we initiated the #3DPrintToProtect movement to empower them against COVID,” says John Kassis, VP Commercial for CraftBot. “The CraftBot culture is all about family and innovation, and now more than ever we need to come together as we start to return to a sense of normalcy.”
