DC’s high school ‘makers’ fire up 3D printers to create PPE

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — It started in late March with a self-professed high school “news junkie” and a lone 3D printer. He tapped into the online community of “makers” — 3D printer enthusiasts — and found an open-source design for a welder’s mask-style face shield he could print at home. “For a lot of us, it can be overwhelming what’s happening,” said Emily Scarrow, a junior at the private school and part of a collective of students running the project. The Print to Protect campaign is just part of a larger effort working in independent pockets among the area’s “maker” community.
