1.3. Classification
According to the Article 3 of the REGULATION (EU) 2016/425 on personal protective equipment and repealing
Council Directive 89/686/EEC:
‘personal protective equipment’ (PPE) means:
(a) equipment designed and manufactured to be worn or held by a person for protection against
one or more risks to that person's health or safety;
(b) interchangeable components for equipment referred to in point (a) which are essential for its
protective function;
(c) connexion systems for equipment referred to in point (a) that are not held or worn by a person,
that are designed to connect that equipment to an external device or to a reliable anchorage point,
that are not designed to be permanently fixed and that do not require fastening works before use;
The Face Shields is then considered as a personal protective equipment (PPE) because they are intended to be
used protection against contaminated fluids.
The PPE shall be classified according to the risk categories set out in Annex I.
‘Devices shall be divided into classes I, IIa, IIb and III, taking into account the intended purpose of
the devices and their inherent risks. Classification shall be carried out in accordance with Annex
VIII.’

2. Device description
2.1. General description
A face shield is a device to protect the wearer's entire face (or part of it).
Protective masks are part of the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) essential in certain work environments.
They guarantee protection of the eyes and skin of workers against some mechanical, thermal and chemical risks.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a device or method intended to be worn or held by a person in order to
protect against one or more risks likely to threaten the safety or health of a person mainly at work.
PPE is divided in three categories:
- class I: work equipment covering minor risks,
- class II: work equipment covering significant risks,
- class III: work equipment covering serious risks with irreversible or fatal effects.
The choice of PPE is based on the risks to be prevented, the working conditions and the users, and this very
precisely (tasks carried out by the user, size of the user, composition of the products used, standards in effect).
The work doctor can also be consulted in the choice of PPE.
PPE must be worn when risks cannot be avoided or sufficiently limited by technical means of collective protection
or by measures, methods or procedures for the organization of work.
The equipment shall be used to reduce exposure to harmful physical, chemical or biological agents as far as
possible. If they cannot eliminate a hazard, they can at least eliminate or significantly reduce the risk of injury.
In medical applications, "face shield" refers to a variety of devices used to protect a medical professional during
a procedure that might expose them to blood or other potentially infectious fluids and also against exposure to
potentially infectious materials.
2.3. Warnings
Think Safety Glasses AND Face Shield both.
Typical safety eyewear doesn’t provide the necessary protection required for handling liquid, chemical adherents
and or with body fluids.
Face shields do an excellent job of providing extra eye and face protection from a variety of dangers. However,
you should always wear safety glasses under your face shield because the bottom and sides of face shields
typically have gaps: splash passing through these gaps can contact your eyes or your skin.
So, you should wear safety glasses and face shields!

5.4.1. Solidworks
The software used in the modelling process is Solidworks.
Solidworks is the modelling software which can create, edit, analyse, document, make, animate, and translate
curves and surfaces NURBS as well as solids, point clouds and meshes. It has no limit in terms of complexity,
degree or size, apart from those of your hardware. Thanks to the Solidworks interface, stl 3D model files can be
created.

6. Manufacturing information
6.1. The printing steps
- The debit and the diameter are constant if the extruders are the same (between 95% and 100%, and 1.75
mm or 2.85mm)
- The printing temperature is chosen in the started gcode. It’s the melting temperature of the filament
(Printing temperature)
- The plate temperature allows the structure to stay on the plate.
- For cooling, the largest value of all extruders is used. This value is often maximal, 100%, because printed
layers must be cooled quickly.
- The adhesion (Brim or Raft) has to be chosen. This parameter is used to adjust the first layer, in order to
optimize the adhesion of the part on the plate by increasing the contact surface.
- The print speed is managed from a slider that will increase the overall speed of printing. A median setting
is often preferred because the layers will have time to cool and harden before going to the next layer. The
high speed will degrade the quality of details on the parts to be printed.

- The choice of density is important because it determine the resistance of the structure. The higher the
filling is, the more resistance the part will be. But it is advisable not to exceed 70% of filling because the
higher the filling is, the stronger the internal tensions will be and the risk of geometric deformation.
- All the parameters related to the retraction allows to extrude back the filament (to remove the filament
from the head for example).
All printing parameters have been optimized and defined in advance to stabilize the printing process. For more
details about the parameters, please refer to the Printing Characteristics and Parameters section. After entering
the print parameters, now the parameters of the structure can be given.
- The thickness of the wall
- The XY distance and the Z distance
- The number of lines of contour and the distance contour of the brim have to be chosen
- The thickness of the brim or raft
It is Important to know how to use the printer, the calibration method, and how to do its maintenance.
In the SOP (Instruction - 3D Printer), all the terms of use of the printer will be found, as well as the security
instructions, the method to install the spools and all the needed maintenance to keep the product in the good
conditions.
A post-printing process is also performed. Once the structure is printed, a trained Spentys staff will check the
printing quality and correct the potential errors. This quality check is done after the end of the production. The
operator uses the cutter to remove the imperfections; he must eliminate the roughness surface of the structure
to avoid the risk of irritation and itching for the user.
