The increased space between the face and visor is sufficient for essential eye and mouth-nose protective equipment, but, at the same time, lateral protection against aerosols when using pre-fabricated DIN A4 foils is reduced. For effective and efficient manufacturing of the face shields presented in this study, fused deposition modeling (FDM) was preferred due to its increased printing capability and minimal post-processing requirements. Easy to use and self-sustaining face shield production using one's own printing capabilities in combination with sufficiently available, commercial goods, such as the laser copy foils in the current study, can be considered to help protect HCWs from aerosol or accidental hand-to-face contamination during their daily clinical routines. 3-D printing of the frame of a face shield was possible using open-source data and biodegradable material.	./cache/cord-322382-p46slvka.txt	./txt/cord-322382-p46slvka.txt
