MMT Chats: Fighting COVID-19 with Collaboration

 
 

I spoke with Jason Murphy of Next Chapter Manufacturing, Chris Kaminsky at Muskegon Community College, John Harding of PCS Company, and Jason Sparks of Concept Molds about how they collaborated in record time to design, 3D print, tool up, mold and deliver face shields to help fight the coronavirus.

“The move from 3D printing into a mold gave us the capacity to go from several hundred a day to several thousands a day,” Murphy says.

It was then all about how quickly they could work to get this job through the shop.
