A PPE Playbook for Makers

Aim of the resource

This is the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Playbook created by designers and doctors from the Emergency Design Collective to guide makers’ contributions to the healthcare system more efficiently.
The first part of the playbook is meant to help makers, hackers, 3D printers, sewers and crafters create Do It Yourself (DIY) PPE and deliver it to front line health workers. There are many built products, from DIY cloth face masks to 3D printed face masks, from laser cut face shields to 3D printed face shields circulating on the internet and social media.
The last part of the playbook focuses on the legal aspect, which is always an important one to consider.

How to use it

The guide is easy to use: you can find very practical information like materials (and where to find them) and best practices.
