Essentium Helps State of Texas Increase PPE SupplyJune 24, 2020October 2, 2020 | The Essentium TeamShare While the State of Texas is less impacted than many other states with significant urban populations, continuing to maintain the relatively low coronavirus infection rates will be vital as its citizens return to more normal activities, and as businesses re-open. Access to PPE (personal protective equipment), such as face masks, plays an essential role in the successful and sustainable emergence from the shelter-in-place order for the citizens of Texas and the economy – the 10th largest in the world.As COVID-19 brought about the disruption of the global supply chain, Texas was not alone in facing challenges in acquiring critical PPE. However, under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s leadership, the State has taken back control of the supply chain with the help of additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing).Essentium, a leading provider of industrial-scale 3D printing, is now working with the Texas Division of Emergency Management, the Texas Military Department, and other groups at a State level to supply PPE. The company has shifted capacity in its Texas operations to produce protective face masks kits based on FDA emergency use authorization. The reusable mask frames are made with Essentium PA (thermoplastic nylon), which allows for easy cleaning; and are used with a single-use, replaceable filtration media that is ASTM Level 2 certified.To date, Essentium has produced more than 60,000 printed face mask kits for the State of Texas. As each kit comes with replaceable filters, it represents the equivalent of providing between 1.9 and 3.8 million individual masks.Said Blake Teipel, Ph.D., CEO and Co-founder of Essentium: “The State of Texas is creating a potential blueprint for sustainable access to PPE. We are proud to be part of this initiative, and I commend Governor Abbott’s visionary leadership in setting a path of clarity and water-tight coordination in its creation and ensuring it is subject to the highest level of oversight.”About EssentiumEssentium, Inc. provides industrial 3D printing solutions that are disrupting traditional manufacturing processes by bringing product strength and production speed together, at scale, with a no-compromise engineering material set. Essentium manufactures and delivers innovative industrial 3D printers and materials enabling the world’s top manufacturers to bridge the gap between 3D printing and machining and embrace the future of additive manufacturing.Media Contact:  Debbie@Rainemakers.comMedia Materials: https://Essentium.com/Press-Room/Disclaimer: Essentium makes no claims regarding certifications for this product and assume no responsibility for its performance in the user’s intended purposes or for the consequences of its use Share
