RE2 Robotics, a Carnegie Mellon spinoff and developer of robotic mobile manipulator arms, is making face shields for healthcare workers on the front line against the COVID-19 fight. RE2 is working with PPE Connect PGH and its coalition of local universities and manufacturers.
RE2 is using its five 3D printers around the clock to fabricate parts for face shields that are being collected and distributed by PPE Connect PGH. The face shields, along with all of the personal protective equipment (PPE) donations, are available at no cost to smaller healthcare entities such as community clinics, nursing homes, and independent facilities in the Pittsburgh region.
