Technicians at the School of Engineering have developed a process to laser cut face shields for healthcare staff.  The shields, which are adapted from existing open source designs, have a full-face visor and adjustable headband, and can be cut from a sheet of plastic using automated laser-cutting machines. You can read more about the development of these face shields here: Laser-cut face guards to shield key workers.
