Here the 3D printed visor frame for protective face shields

Tecnoguarnizioni turned to CRP Technology and its technological solutions that combine speed of execution and optimal performance

Tecnoguarnizioni s.a.s (Soliera, Modena, Italy) for over 40 years has been producing industrial flat gaskets of all sizes based on the customer's design.

In this period of major global crisis and health emergency, it is actively contributing to the fight against Covid-19 by creating new personal protective equipment (PPE).

Tecnoguarnizioni's project consisted in the creation of two polycarbonate protective face shields models: one version (named Safe4U) for working environments; the other one (Safe4U +) to meet the requirement of the CE Mark for medical devices.

Both face protectors are equipped with a visor frame which, fastener to a rubber band, allows to wear the PPE while keeping your hands free to perform any action.

For the manufacture of the visor frame, Tecnoguarnizioni turned to CRP Technology and its technological solutions that combine speed of execution and optimal performance.

The Soliera-based company needed to obtain quickly the functional prototypes of the visor frames, in order to submit as soon as possible the final device to the CE certification process, and to finalize definitively the injection mold for industrial production, to avoid changes which would have involved huge waste of time and money.

Visor frames have been manufactured using Selective Laser Sintering process and Windform® FX BLACK, a new generation polyamide based material with a dark black color from Windform TOP-LINE range SLS materials. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to repeated bending and torsion. The material shows excellent impact resistance even at low temperatures.
