Terex Utilities Joins Face Shields Effort for Health Care Workers
Manufacturer Helps in Fight Against Covid-19
Watertown, South Dakota-based Terex Utilities recently answered a request by Lake Area Technical Institute (LATI) to 3D print parts for face shields for health care workers on the front lines of the fight against Covid-19. The Electronic Systems Technology and Robotics departments at the technical college are leading the effort.
“Because it takes up to 13 hours to print four face shield bands, they sent a request out to local businesses to lend a hand by printing parts needed for a completed shield,” says Dan Brenden, director of engineering for Terex Utilities. Two other companies and more than a dozen individuals also assisted in the effort.
