A state police trooper in Vermont used his personal 3D printer to make dozens of face shields to help protect local medical staff working during the coronavirus health crisis.

Vermont State Police Detective Trooper Robert Zink, who enjoys 3D printing in his free time, created 60 face shields for staff at the Bennington Health and Rehab center when he received word that they were unable to obtain their own personal protective equipment.

Zink, who is assigned to Rutland Barracks, used plastic sheets donated by Staples. He, in turn, donated the face shields to the center in Bennington, a town with more than 15,700 residents located less than 10 miles from the New York and Massachusetts state borders.
