As hospitals see patient surges due to the spread
of COVID-19, healthcare workers are struggling with a significant shortage of PPE. Healthcare professionals
are exposed to COVID-19 repeatedly during their shifts, resulting in increasing numbers of frontline workers becoming ill,
further straining America’s already-struggling
healthcare system.
The Problem
Long Island Racing, a machine and engine shop in Brentwood, NY, has pivoted production to support the fight against COVID-19. They typically produce motorcycles and other racing machines as well as mechanically engineered parts, but have shifted to 3D printing reusable face masks and shields that will be distributed to healthcare workers in need.
