  • WeTheBuilders.com is providing the online signup portal, and issues a unique identifier to each signup account for tracking parts
  • Open Works is the assembly center that accepts the community printed face shield parts, sanitizes them, and assembles them with the plastic shields
  • Innovation Works is providing the online ordering and distribution service for health care providers at the cost of production
