Fab Lab El Paso is dedicated to helping the medical community, healthcare workers, responders, and community members address the COVID-19 epidemic and associated supply chain shortages with 3D printing, digital fabrication, and rapid prototyping technology.
Our staff are currently working to address shortage issues and custom designs in the following PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) areas. Please keep in mind, these are stop gap measures to be used in emergencies to help with supply shortages. They do not and should not replace proper medical grade equipments or devices.
Face Shields
Face shields are personal protective equipment devices that are used by many workers for protection of the facial area and associated mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) from splashes, sprays, and spatter of body fluids. Face shields are generally not used alone, but in conjunction with other protective equipment.
HDPE with top cover (recommended for clinical)
CNC machined to be durable, great for disinfecting, and splash guard provides extra protection from bad top intake
PETG (recommended for community)
3D printed to provide protection against spray
N100 Face Masks
*These frames are adapted from H600 Frames approved by NIH for community use.

N100 masks are examples of personal protective equipment that are used to protect the wearer from airborne particles and from liquid contaminating the face.
These masks are recommended for community use. Not recommended for clinical use.
Available in 3D printed PETG with 5 sheets of N100 filters. Extra N100 filters available upon request for larger orders. Semi-disposable use, which means it can be disinfected a few times, but not recommended for long-term repeated use.
Thank you to Columbia Industries for the generous donation of N100 material.
