Animax Designs to produce face shields and masks
A
nimax Designs, Inc, a creator of animatronic and interactive characters for theme parks and location based entertainment, is supporting the COVID-19 effort by producing protective face shields
and masks for medical professionals. The state-of-the-art 3D printing technology used to produce components for
multi-axis animatronics are now also being used to produce the components needed to make the face shields. The in-house costuming shop is producing tri-layer facemasks that can be N95 rated by slipping a filter into a special pocket. To reinforce Animax Designs’ efforts, the company has received “essential
employee” status from the State of Tennessee to ensure that the company can continue to produce essential equipment throughout the pandemic. The combined efforts of the company will enable the production of approximately 500-600 protective face shields and facemasks each week for medical professionals to use on the frontlines to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
