Established in response to the urgent personal protective equipment (PPE) shortage caused by COVID-19, we are a taskforce aimed at providing 3D-printed PPE to frontline healthcare workers in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
Who we are
We are a grassroots initiative consisting of primarily medical students, as well as other health professions students, collaborating across the University of Toronto and McMaster University to mobilize 3D-printers to produce protective personal equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). |
