In an effort to do more than just sit around at home, we gathered a few volunteers at Publicis and retrieved the 3D printers from our agencies to bring them home and print medical equipment to make up for the deadly shortage that the hospitals were facing. Round the clock, we printed, fixed the issues, reprinted again and again, setting alarms at night to refill machines and replace parts. The four of us managed to print more than 1 000 medical visors that were then shipped by motorcyclist employees to Public Hospitals, retirement homes, supermarket workers, Postmen and women, Fire/Police men and women, vulnerable local businesses and individuals who reached out to us. It was amazing to play our little part during the first wave of the pandemic
[#PRINTANDPROTECT] Grâce à l'impression 3D, @PubSapientFR s'engage à fabriquer des visières de protection pour les personnels en première ligne. Les premières livraisons ont été faites dans les hôpitaux, Ephads et dans les supermarchés de Paris. @TarGz #StayAtHome pic.twitter.com/tzUDoOoz3O
