COVID Face Shield: We Need Your Help! #ShieldNHS

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

We are a small group of UK Designers and Engineers trying to scale the production of a simple design of Face Shield to help prevent transmission of COVID 19.

Is your company involved with the manufacture or supply of: foam, clear plastic film, elastic materials or products?

If you think you can help us, please TICK THE RELEVANT BOXES BELOW and we'll get in touch.

We're focussing on manufacture in the UK but open to collaborations with anyone who can help. We are doing this altruistically, and are not looking to gain any commercial benefit from this activity.

The design of the mask, including dimensions and suggested materials is here:

We have seen parallel efforts to make 3D printed Face Shields. These are great, but we strongly believe that this foam design can be produced more quickly and at a larger scale.

This virus is spreading so rapidly that we need to get this moving NOW so please help us if you can!
