    Beachwood Business Preparing To 3D Print Medical Protective Gear
    As hospitals seek donations of medical personal protective equipment (PPEs), employees at a local 3D printing business are hoping they can help. MakerGear in Beachwood, which manufactures 3D printers for schools and businesses across the country, is open to requests from health care providers.
