adidas in partnership with Carbon will be producing 3D-printed face shields in order to help provide relief amid the COVID-19 crisis.

The athletic giant announced that it has begun making protective equipment with Carbon, the same company behind its 3D-printed footwear, in order to produce 3D-printed face shields at its California-based manufacturing facilities.

There are currently more than 18,000 face shields being produced per week, which will be allocated to first responders and healthcare professionals around the world.

The teams are utilizing Carbon’s 3D-printed lattice structures to create the innovative molds, in turn reducing material usage, increasing the printing times, and enhancing the overall comfort of the product.
