Since 2013, ZVerse, Inc, a Columbia, South Carolina based company, has built a reputation for leading-edge product development solutions through On-Demand Design services, known as CADaaS (Computer-Aided Design as a Service). Beginning in March 2020, in response to the demand for PPE due to COVID-19, ZVerse leveraged its DME (Digital Manufacturing Enablement) capabilities to design and produce a highly successful line of American-made face shield products. Winner of a 2020 Fast Company Innovation Award for its design, ZVerse has provided millions of ZShields to frontline healthcare workers, educators, and the community at large, making the company one of the most prominent face shield providers in the US. Inspired by the experience ZVerse is continuing to develop new tools to accelerate digital manufacturing.
