Groups of researchers from various departments and laboratories of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) have coordinated their efforts and joined forces, with the initial goal of producing face shields using 3D printing.
These face shields, which have been tested by doctors and the staff of the NKUA Medical School university clinics, are used as a supplement and always as an adjunct to the basic essential protection equipment that must be worn, including specialized masks, gloves, and so on.
