Gympie Library Using Technology To Help Fight COVID-19

Staff at the Gympie Regional Libraries have been hard at work creating 3D printed face shield headframes that will be used by Queensland Health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The initiative that was started by the Herston Biofabrication Institute called for donations of medical supplies using specific designs that could be created using a 3D printer.

To keep up with the current demand, The Gympie Library is printing an estimated 40 headframes each week, with the first delivery being posted this weekend.

Gympie Regional Council would like to thank all of the medical personnel who have been involved during the COVID-19 pandemic.
