Amazon Mass Producing Face Shields it Plans to Sell at Cost

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has started mass producing face shields for the medical community, aiming to make hundreds of thousands of them available in the coming weeks.

The idea was spurred on by an Amazon program manager in early March who heard about a group of 3D printing enthusiasts inWashington who were making face shields for frontline workers. The Amazon employee reached out to colleagues in the company's drone unit, and within one week, the team took the initial design and improved upon it, making the shields reusable, adding enhancements to keep them in place, and making them more comfortable to wear.
