Face shield is one of the important PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for health workers in health services in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic as it is today. The limited number of face shield will certainly hamper the health services provided by the hospital. This Community Services activity was carried out at RSI Sultan Agung and RSIGM Sultan Agung to provide training on making face shield independently and also maintenance, so that face shield is more durable and not easily damaged. The tool used is a 3D printer which is easy to operate. 3D Printing technology will produce solid objects, and not like printing a sheet of paper on a printer that is commonly used. Design 3D models using CAD software. This activity was attended by 80 participants. 91.25% of participants are interested in making their own face shields as an effort to meet the need for face shields From the Community Services activities, around 100 face shields were produced which were handed over to the hospital.

The extraordinary thing about the application of 3D printing technology is that it can be used to create accessible items customized to personal needs. In the fashion industry, there is a need for individualized protective equipment. The possibility of applying new technologies such as 3D modelling of protective elements that can be made by using 3D printers is presented in this paper. 3D modelling and additive technologies (3D printing) can be used in the development of protective work clothing. The fabrication process only requires the digital fi le with the 3D model and the right material - we chose to use thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).The design samples were constructed and modelled using a software program called Rhinoceros. The samples can be integrated into the clothing item, in order to follow the body shape and to provide the necessary protection. Purpose. This paper aims to explore the applicability of 3D printing materials using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for the development of protective gear. Scientifi c novelty. In the fashion industry, three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used by designers and engineers to create everything from accessories to clothing, but only a few studies have investigated its applicability in personal protective equipment. Practical value. One of the most signifi cant technologies of the fourth industrial revolution is 3D printing. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are the subject of intensive research and development (methods, materials, new techniques, application areas, etc.). The purpose of this study is to develop 3D printing samples and study conditions related to TPU.
