How do deliveries work?
How do deliveries work?
We pack them in the back of the truck and go! We also have trailers and other vehicles for large deliveries or rainy days.
Cost per shield?
Cost per shield?
After all is said and done and each shield has been delivered, they average out to $1 per shield. We typically run at 500 per day when we have funding and have capacity for 1,000 per day. Private orders are $2 per shield.
To start everything up again at this price point we need a minimum of $10,000 to bulk order materials.
Printing Workshop
How did we start?
How did we start?
It all started with a call from Steve, the leader of Fab Newport. He knew about Will's aptitude for electronics including 3D printing and wanted to make a difference.
The money came from a collaboration between Fab Newport and URI Rapid Responders. It allowed us to start things in our living room, but limited us and we had to contribute a lot to keep things running.
In order to make a bigger difference we reached out to the Governor's Workforce Board and were awarded the grant that allowed us to grow into what we are today.
