Shortly after the Shelter-In-Place order by the Governor began it was clear that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for medical front line workers was in short supply. Immediately many Makers and Makerspaces worked together to fill the need using 3D printers and laser cutters. This presentation illustrates how JJC and the MakerLab contributed to the effort.
Debra Daun oversees operation of the MakerLab at Joliet Junior College where she helps people working on their projects using 3D printers, a laser cutter and various software programs. She earned a Computer Graphic Technology degree from Kankakee Community College where she has also worked as an adjunct professor, a tutor and 3D printer tech. Debra also teaches community classes on 3D printing and laser cutting at both JJC and KCC.
