Teams at the University of Witwatersrand’s (Wits’) Digital Incubator at the Tshimologong Precinct, the School of Mechanical, Industrial and Aeronautical Engineering (MIA) along with the Transnet Centre of Systems Engineering (TCSE) and the Transnet Matlafatšo Centre (TMC), have come together to assist with Netcare 911’s call to assist with printing head rings for face shields used by medical staff treating patients with Covid-19. Recognising that each head ring for the face shields would take about 90 minutes to produce and with limited three-dimensional (3D) printing capacity, a team – made up of Guy Richards, Letlotlo Phohole, Moses Mogotlane, Palesa Riba and Randall Paton – has decided on a laser cut solution that saves time.
