"3 Dimensional Support" is a post-Covid solidarity initiative established in 2020 where volunteers with 3d printers provided medical parts and equipment for hospitals and pharmacies by using 3d print technology. They produced more than 100.000 face shields. Their volunteers were people from different cities who have 3d printers, who can provide raw material, web designers and people who can spread the word by using social media. More than 3000 people and organisations support this movement and they identified 4.522+ available 3d printers. Through the website or the mobile application people can register as a volunteer or demand face shields. From github or the website, volunteers download the 3d face shield prototype and start producing. Produced face shields are sent for free to the hospitals and pharmacies.
