Tredé cofounders and husband and wife team, Vicente Gascó Gómez and María Laura Martínez Kezner, are 3D printing face shields for Puerto Rico's frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers.
, who is widely renowned as the leading advocate of the Maker Movement, has been tracking and writing relentlessly about the international maker response to COVID-19. He recently told me about a maker in East Tennessee who decided to manufacture 3D printed PPE design, and turned a football locker room into a small production facility to produce it.
My main reason for catching up with Dale was to learn more about what he referred to as Plan C in his article“My coverage for this is that Plan A was the government saying, ‘We got it. We'll take care of this.’ I don't trust them. Plan B was, ‘We'll get industry to solve the problem for the government.’ That's the private/public partnership—the task force model. What I realized is that it's on the maker community to pull off Plan C—civic engagement.
Tredé also collaborated with Museo Puerto Rico to create 3D sculptures of paintings by local artists so the blind community could feel the pieces, rather than just hear about them. And Vicente created a book for blind people that incorporates braille and sculptures. ...
