The students already have orders for 500 units from GP surgeries and hospitals in London, Liverpool and parts of Scotland.
An A-level student and two former pupils have turned their school into a factory to produce protective equipment to help the NHS during the COVID-19 crisis.
The trio are using 3D printers from their classroom to make face-visors for A&E workers and other health staff. They are providing the equipment for free and using crowdfunding to pay for the raw materials and delivery costs with orders coming in thick and fast. George Dazvaryan, 22, a graduate in mechanical engineering and former pupil at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith, west London, had the idea when he realised there was a shortage of protective equipment, and the capability to make it on 3D printers at his old school.He recruited his bother Alex, who is an A-level student at the City of London School.
They started work on Monday and have already created and delivered 90 visors to a hospital in Wales and have orders for 500 units from GP surgeries and hospitals in London, Liverpool and parts of Scotland.
