It just has a faster start. Here in Portugal people have been printing 3D face shield for 2 weeks (or more probably) and delivering them to those who need it.

In the meantime injection mold factories started creating the mold, fine tuning it and are now producing in large quantities.

But you see, for 2 weeks (or more) the big factories had 0 face shields coming out, which matters a lot.

People on the field don't need great and efficient solutions 2 weeks down the line, they need good enough solutions NOW.

I don't understand how the comment can have upvotes. "feels good"? Really? People with 3D printers are making a difference and actually helping those in the field. From health staff, to law enforcement to other areas. Shame on you.

And no I don't have a 3D printer. Unfortunately.
