PEEKSKILL - In the battle against the coronavirus pandemic, high-tech manufacturer Bantam Tools will donate its portable, computerized design machines to organizations that may use them to create everything from valves for ventilators to components for medical personnel’s face shields.
Bantam Tools, which relocated to Peekskill from the San Francisco Bay area, has received 67 applications in three days inquiring about the milling machines, from a fire department in Westchester County to hospitals, universities’ research groups and applicants in other countries.
Bantam Tools makes the advanced machines, which are small enough to sit on a desktop and that designers and engineers use to fabricate three-dimensional prototype products.
“We’re reviewing this initial round and we’ll probably start donating several machines beginning next week and the following week,” Zach Dunham, Bantam Tools’ director of marketing, said Wednesday.
