3D Printers from Suffolk Libraries Being Used to Help Create Face Shields
In a project coordinated by the Suffolk County Library System (SCLS) and in partnership with Stony Brook University, Suffolk County Libraries have banned together to help create face shields for the heroes in our hospitals!
Earlier this week SCLS reached out to libraries with 3D printers and asked them to consider having them temporarily shipped to SCLS where they will be organized together in a “printer farm” to make the headband portion for face shields used by medical personnel.
For libraries that didn’t own a 3D printer, such as ours, SCLS offered them the opportunity to purchase one immediately through a coordinated order and have them added to the “printer farm.”
We’re happy to announce that Emma Clark Library has purchased one of the printers so that we may also participate in this important effort to help our hospital heroes. Altogether, by next week Suffolk libraries will have over 60 3D printers working together on production. Once the crisis is over, our own new 3D printer will come back to the Library for the Three Village community.
