Curro to print 3D medical shields for health workers
Curro Holdings has joined several other organisations by pledging its assistance in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
In a statement, Curro announced that it would offer the use of their 3D printers to aid in the printing of protective face shields for medical workers in the front-line of the fight against Covid-19.
“These printers will be utilised to print protective face shields, including the head band and shield components,” the statement reads.
“The group is in the process of rallying partners to assist with the supply of appropriate materials for the printing to take effect."
Curro has applied to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) for an essential services permit.
“Each individual who goes on site to the various school campuses will carry this document and the relevant permits indicating that we are assisting with a specific service.”
