I met with Mr. Moxley today. He was really helpful, and I learned a lot from this visit. Not only did he
graciously provide 360 quantities of the frames that I was looking for, but took me around to look at
the machinery, and their inner workings. Injection molding is quite an interesting process that
requires incredible precision. It was fascinating to learn how a majority of the world’s plastic products
are made. This particular mask was designed in collaboration with Georgia Tech’s Enterprise
Innovation Institute. They in turn give the parts to the state guard, and the parts are distributed
throughout Fema IV. After that, we stopped by Fabrico, the company that supposedly produced the
clear visor parts. The Fabrico representative has still not contacted me back for the purchasing of
the clear plastic part I will need. With this design, I actually need four components. The frame, clear
face shield, Velcro to tighten the frame, and foam for comfort. My goal is to keep the cost of this
frame under 15 cents. I recently contacted my school in regards to funding, and help assemble these
parts. I have attached images of my recently acquired frames.
