Rapid design and high volume supply of face visor PPE

FAC科技成功设计制造了一款带面罩的个人防护用品，目前已向医院、大学和企业供应了数万套。这个扩展将在三个方面改善项目的产品，供应和商业成功：可持续和负责任的创新我们的面罩由三个部分组成：头带，屏幕和皮带。然而，现有的大多数产品是不可生物降解的，由石油基材料制成。FAC技术面罩使用生物衍生材料作为屏幕材料，这种扩展将使其他组件的开发，头带和皮带，也可以用环保的生物衍生材料注塑成型。fac科技已经建立了一个现有的供应链，生产能力约为5000件/周。这一扩展将使模具投资能够将生产能力提高到每周50,000台，大大扩展英国供应链，并展示进一步扩大规模的途径。所有组件都是，并将继续在英国设计和制造，商业模式和商业开发的发展除了B2B销售，FAC技术希望采用面向所有消费者的大规模销售方法。亚马逊和eBay是首选的销售渠道，但要在其市场上注册品牌，产品/公司必须有进一步的知识产权保护（例如商标）。这项拨款的延长将有助于建立这个分销渠道，这对FAC技术来说是全新的。

FAC Technology have successfully designed and manufactured a face visor PPE product, with tens of thousands of units now having been supplied to hospitals, universities, and businesses. This extension will improve the product, supply and commercial success of the project in three ways:Sustainable and Responsible Innovation Our faceshield is comprised of three components: headband, screen and strap. However, the majority of the existing products are non-biodegradable and made from petroleum based materials. The FAC Technology faceshield utilises a bioderived material for the screen material, and this extension will enable the development of the other components, the headband and strap, to also be injection moulded from environmentally friendly, bioderived, materials. Expansion of SupplyFAC Technology has established an existing supply chain with a production capacity of about 5,000 units/week. This extension will enable the investment in tooling to take the production capacity into the region of 50,000 units per week, greatly expanding the UK supply chain, and demonstrate a pathway to further scale up. All components have been, and will continue to be, designed and manufactured in the UKDevelopment of business model and commercial exploitation In addition to B2B sales, FAC Technology would like to adopt mass selling approach for all consumers. Amazon and eBay are the preferred sales channels, but to be brand registered on their marketplaces the product/ company must have further IP protection in place (e.g. Trademarks). This grant extension will facilitate setting up this distribution channel, which is something completely new for FAC Technology.
