In these days of total struggle against coronavirus, we rolled our sleeves up to produce protective acetate masks for our health personnel

We are facing a pandemic that affects the whole world and our country. Today, we see how countries take measures against coronavirus which has become a global threat in such a short time. We all witnessed the increase in demand for disinfections and protective masks as the virus showed up in China and rapidly spread to the world. With the first case identified in early March, many measures were taken in our country. Additionally, the country also took some steps in domestic mask production. As DOF Robotics, we also took the responsibility and rolled our sleeves up to produce protective acetate masks for our health personnel in these days of total struggle against coronavirus. At this point, firstly, we will contact health facilities and identify the ones that need masks. Then, we will distribute the masks that we have produced by 3D printers for free to the health facilities we’ve identified. We are working day and night to provide the masks more rapidly to our health personnel. There are thousands of 3D printers in R&D centres in Turkey. We can say that we can produce thousands of protective masks that are highly needed with voluntary persons and institutions.
