This article looks at how 3D printers and materials for production by Cytron are used for the production of PPE by the digital maker community.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cytron provides solutions for digital makers to build smart electronic and robotic projects. The company, which is based in Bukit Mertajam,\u00a0Penang, achieves this by designing boards\/modules that simplify the building process, supplying reliable parts at affordable prices, and guiding digital makers to choose the right parts and get started. The company delivers digital making products and solutions through their e-commerce website, and also supply to local industries through normal offline procurement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While Cytron delivers the products to digital makers, the company believes that it was the tenacity and collaborative effort of the maker community that brought about the making of all these much-needed PPE for Covid-19 frontliners.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the constraint due to the movement control order (MCO), Cytron tried their best to deliver all equipment and materials needed, which include 3D printers such as\u00a0Ender-3<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ender-3 PRO<\/a>\u00a0to produce face shields, headbands and\u00a0filaments<\/a>\u00a0that are needed to produce the PPE.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In terms of face shield production for the\u00a0frontliners,\u00a0maker community\u00a0in Malaysia started their own group and distributed the task. Individual\u00a0makers printed and produced parts for the face shield using their own 3D printer,\u00a0filaments and material. Cytron also supplied the 3D printers, material, and shared product-making knowledge to enable the community to build the face shields and straps\/headbands. In addition, Cytron also sponsored filaments \/ 3D printers to groups such as\u00a0Penang\u00a0Science Cluster and KakiDIY.<\/p>\n
