Te Ao Mārama teacher Frank Young is involved in The Shields Up project, which was created by a collective of organisations with 3D printers called Makers NZ Relief Work.
The initiative will see disposable face masks distributed to stretched health facilities, with orders for supplies from health facilities around the country nearing 6000.
"It’s just kind of exploded… people are asking for anywhere from one to 200 just for one sort of practice,” Mr Young said.
