DSV supports production of 3D printed visors
A suite of 3D printers originally destined for Cardiff University’s PARC Institute have been repurposed and relocated to manufacture visors for NHS Wales in the fight against Covid-19. Due to the temporary closure of the university campus, the first issue was to find a place to set up the machines.
This is where DSV stepped in and offered to set up the machines at DSV’s ISO9001 healthcare facility in Milton Keynes. Drawing from the expertise of DSV’s logistics manufacturing services (LMS) section, the team was able to set up manufacturing in a matter of weeks to produce the much-needed visors.
Martin Lancaster, general manager for health and beauty in the UK, who also runs the DSV facility, explains: "Our team are already providing logistics services to the NHS during this difficult time, and this project allowed us to go a step further and support the NHS in a new and innovative way."
