    A U.S. Air Force service member in OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform is seated at a workbench next to a 3D printer enclosed in a clear acrylic/glass enclosure. The name tape on the uniform reads 'PASE' and the branch tape reads 'U.S. AIR FORCE'. The setting appears to be a fabrication or innovation lab environment.

Alan Pasel, an aircraft metals technology specialist assigned to the 130th Maintenance Squadron, sits beside a LulzBot TAZ 6 Dual Platinum 3D printer at McLaughlin Air National Guard Base, Charleston, W.Va., March 27, 2020. Pasel used the printer to design a face shield prototype for production to fulfill a statewide shortage caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. De-Juan Haley)

    The image shows a 3D printer in active operation, with the print head (extruder assembly) depositing white filament onto a brass/gold-colored print bed. A circular or ring-shaped white object is being printed, with several layers already completed. The close-up perspective provides a detailed view of the extruder components including cooling fans and wiring.

    A person is pointing at an HP laptop screen displaying a 3D CAD model in SolidWorks software. The model appears to be a curved, arc-shaped component — likely the headband or frame of a face shield — rendered in purple/magenta. The file name visible in the title bar references 'Modified_Prusa_Face_Shield_Solid_Top', suggesting this is a modified design of the well-known Prusa face shield, likely designed for 3D printing.
