Toledo football player Doerger making surgical shields for local hospitals

With college football and the normalcy of being a student-athlete on pause right now as the nation and world fight the coronavirus epidemic, University of Toledo senior offensive lineman Luke Doerger looked for a special way to serve his community.

Knowing he had a 3-D printer and inspired by the online 3-D printing community, Doerger decided to create surgical shields to donate to local hospitals.

“I saw the opportunity to make a difference how I could, and I jumped on it,” Doerger said. “I was raised and brought up my entire life with the ideal that if you are able to help and able to make a difference then you are called to fill that need and take action to do what you can.
