Two businesses within C4DI who specialise in education are working tirelessly to provide much-needed support to schools, teachers, parents and their children.
C4DI-based product design, 3D printing and rapid manufacturing company NFire Labs has launched a campaign to supply much-needed FFP3 Masks and Face Shields to the healthcare professionals for the fight against COVID-19.
