Doctors and nurses short of face masks has some local artists making use of their 3D printers.
It's a long process, but after the group met with hospital staff about what they need, they say they're planning to make hundreds for both Astria Health and Virginia Mason Memorial.
The Yakima Maker Space has been closed to the public for weeks now, but a small group of members are working to pump out hundreds of masks for hospitals in the area with their 3D printers.
"Our first responders are out there trying to save lives, and we're trying to do our part to make sure we keep them safe," says Nick Romero of Thrive Industries.
Romero says when he found out the place his mother works, Astria Health in Toppenish, was running low on hospital masks, they decided to get to work.
