A low-cost face shield invented by Osaka University and Charman

The shape of the frame is based on a widely used design, with clips on both ends. We designed several types of frames, including a small size for women and children, and a structure that can be attached to a stationery clip when the accuracy of the 3D printer cannot be secured. The shield part by the file can be cut with scissors if you are concerned about fogging or collision with the surrounding area. Transparent book covers can also be used and are disposable. There is a worldwide shortage of protective gear, and in New York City, the U.S., it was reported that treatment activities were carried out wearing garbage bags. Professor Nakajima said, ???It???s best if we can use genuine products, but we need to think about using familiar items as substitutes when there???s a shortage.? The photo shows Professor Nakajima demonstrating the use of a face shield with a file. (Photo taken on April 3, 2020, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
