One size fits all, it is discreet and comfortable at the same time,&#8221; explains Alexis Tapparel, sales manager at A-Printer.<\/p>\n<p>In the view of Olivier Chollet, designer of the FogClip device, it also has the advantage of being printed using a natural, renewable and biodegradable material, certified as being 100% Swiss: &#8220;We use PLA (polylactic acid) filaments, a material made from corn cellulose. PLA has a very good finish, contains no petroleum or plastic, and produces no waste, being entirely biodegradable. This is actually a very good selling point for our FogClip attachments.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valais-based company A-Printer is making a name for itself with its FogClip device, which prevents the build-up of fog while wearing an anti-covid mask. 12,000 units are printed every day using 120 3D printers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14248,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[839],"tags":[943,884,938],"class_list":["post-14247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-en","tag-advanced-manufacturing","tag-covid-19","tag-plastics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
