We're in the business of forging dreams, but in times like these we realize that we all might have to put our dreams on hold to focus on the health and safety of our communities.

To try and do our part to help, we've designed a simple face shield (we're calling the "economy" face shield) that is available to anyone who needs it. The designs have been made open-source and are available on our website along with instructions at: www.dreamforge.us

The shield consists of three parts: a 3D printed visor, an overhead projector sheet, and a rubber band. One size fits most! The only tool necessary for assembly is a 3-hole punch.

If you are a healthcare professional or emergency management agency in SW Iowa, we are running our 3D printers around the clock and donating as many as we can. Send us a message or call us at: 515-497-0207 to request your need.

Proper PPE is required and this shield should not be substituted for respiratory and eye protection. Use this economy face shield to add a layer of protection from direct fluid transmission.

Please help us spread the word and stay safe out there!

The future of prototyping may be changed forever with CMU's Electrick "touchscreen in a can"!

Touch sensing is most common on small, flat surfaces such as smartphone or tablet screens. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, however, turn surfaces of a wide variety of shapes and sizes into touchpads using tools as simple as a can of spray paint.
