In its effort to help the frontline medical health workers and uniformed personnel in their fight against the spread of COVID-19, USeP through its Fabrication Laboratory (Digihub FabLab, a shared service facility of USeP, DTI-XI and DOST-XI) fabricated thousands of face shields.

There are two types of fabricated face shields made available for distribution. The first type is 3D printed and the other one is Foam Type. The University through Dr. Amiel Marata, FabLab Manager, and Dr. Alma Mae Salinas, Dean of the College of Technology, have successfully turned over more than a thousand number of fabricated face shields to both public and private hospitals, doctors to the barrios, government agencies, LGUs, nearby barangays, boundary checkpoints and private organizations in the Region.
