Late March, Governor Inslee asked Washington State manufacturers to turn their expertise and capabilities to help produce items desperately needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Items such as N95 and surgical face masks, gloves, goggles, face shields, and more, we’re asked to be donated and/or manufactured.

As the pandemic continued, individuals and businesses throughout the state (and around the world) lent a helping hand to help fight against COVID-19 and provide PPE for healthcare personnel, first responders, and more. Tool Gauge wanted to do our part as well.

Being a build-to-print manufacturer of complex metal parts and assemblies, Tool Gauge used our existing expertise and capabilities to manufacture a National Institutes of Health (NIH) DtM Face Shield.

 

The DtM Face Shield is comprised of an injection molded polypropylene headband, polycarbonate shield, and an elastic headband.

 

 

Our first shipment of DtM Face Shields is set to be sent out this month to Washington State, to aid in the domestic supply chain of PPE. We will be sending out a total order quantity of 100,000 face shields but have the capacity to produce more.

We are offering the DtM Face Shield at our cost, using materials on hand or in our supply chain in order to move as rapidly as possible in scaling up production.

We look forward to working with you on your PPE needs.
