Project: <\/strong>Critical PPE Face shields for NHS Frontline Staff<\/h3>\n

Services:<\/strong> Design for manufacture, moldflow analysis, injection mould tooling design and manufacture. Collaborating to offer a rapid tooling service.<\/a>
\n\"BEC<\/p>\n

Timeline:\u00a0<\/b> 8 days from receipt of approved CAD in our onsite, dedicated toolroom to first off mouldings in our onsite mould shop.<\/p>\n

Our Client:<\/b> Community Interest Company (CIC) Protecting Heroes<\/strong> were set up by experts in the field of rapidly upscaling industrial manufacture, with one purpose. To support the UK effort in fighting COVID-19.<\/p>\n

With a design originated by JNDC, the Protecting Heroes team came together to create\u00a0 protective face shields they could manufacture in the UK without putting additional strain on the current health industry suppliers. By partnering with British SME manufacturers like BEC, previously not involved in PPE production, they knew they could concentrate on adding to capacity.<\/p>\n

Our Mission:\u00a0<\/strong> To quickly apply our design, rapid tooling<\/a> and injection moulding<\/a> expertise to form part of the stable UK manufacturing base, from which large volumes could be scaled rapidly – to effectively protect front-line NHS staff quickly.<\/p>\n

Our Solution…so far:<\/strong>\u00a0 By working closely with Protecting Heroes on the design and manufacture of critical PPE, we were able to move rapidly from concept to manufacture, creating a high quality face shield which simplified the design and production process, passing every rigorous testing obstacle, so that large scale \u2018fit for purpose\u2019 industrial manufacture in the UK could be achieved quicker. Applying our expertise to pre-empt any possible pitfalls, plan ahead, include stringent material selection criteria, meet critical timelines and create a mass-production solution.<\/p>\n

Having design, tool and moulding expertise under one roof, meant that all aspects of the design for manufacture<\/a><\/strong> process were achieved with speed and efficiency.\u00a0 Our huge collaborative effort made sure the design was optimised and the injection mould tooling benchmarks were achieved, enabling us to ensure the end-product complied with the most stringent of accreditations.<\/p>\n

Result:\u00a0<\/strong>First off-shot moulded and once approved, into 24 hour production.<\/p>\n

Within days we are proud to have created a fully tested and certified face shield that conforms to the original parameters set by senior figures in the NHS, Ministry of Defence procurement, DFID, testing houses and Parliament.<\/p>\n

Manufactured in the UK, safe, rigorously tested and in regular supply.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are looking for a UK manufacturer to help to take your product concept through a rigorous design for manufacture review process, in a matter of days, please give us a call.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Designer\u2019s Words:\u00a0 \u201cWorking on a COVID related project meant everyone in the team needed to focus and deliver. BEC stepped up to the challenge and not only delivered first time to quality, but also delivered early!\u00a0 Offering technical input into materials selection as well as detailed design feedback to reduce the risks to tooling and the end product.\u00a0 Their input meant that the first tool was to specification, with absolutely no modifications needed. \u00a0Incredible effort by all.\u00a0 Thank you to everyone involved in the project. We look forward to working with BEC again in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>
\nDean Carran, Founder and designer at JNDC\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Director, Geoff Elvy, has the last word: \u201cThe validation process, normally achieved after a few rounds of testing and tweaking, has confirmed that our face shield design conforms to the latest, stringent requirements\u00a0specified by the government to supply to the NHS, first time around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
