GripHero turns over 3D-printing machines to production of face shields

Forecourt hand-protection manufacturer GripHero has turned to the production of protective face shields to donate to frontline NHS staff.

The Hatherleigh headquartered business has been manufacturing and assembling face shields following the shortage of protective wear for medical personnel in the UK.


The face shields will be distributed to hospitals across the country from a central collection centre in Sheffield.

“With our 3D printing capability, we realised that we could play an active part in PPE production,” commented Oli Yeo, founder of GripHero.

“Now, it’s a matter how quickly we can make the masks and get them out to frontline staff and key workers. With a huge effort from our team, all observing strict social distancing, we have been able to produce 140 face masks to date and we plan to keep up production for as long as it is needed.”

GripHero uses their in-house 3D printers, combined with PrusaPrinters’ downloadable face shield design, approved by the Czech Ministry of Health, to produce the face masks.

The company said it is well on the way to producing 200 face masks in just four weeks.

The company said it has received an overwhelming response to the offer, which is estimated to cost £3 million in the UK alone, with thousands of forecourts signing up.
