Spellman High Voltage Electronics - Sussex Business Heroes

Spellman is working every day to support ourselves, our families and our jobs, doing our part as an Essential Business.  Customers are sending letters every day, describing how we support them in critical infrastructure and essential businesses around the world. 

We are proud, amazed and inspired by all the ways that we are connected to both the fight against COVID-19 and also to the critical industries that are needed to keep the world turning. What we do helps to diagnose and treat COVID-19, but also to manage the other illness and diseases that existed before and will exist long after COVID-19.  What Spellman does is “essential” as a business and how critical each of our roles are in the big picture.  

Here are some of the things our Design & Equipment Engineers have been working on in addition to their “regular job” to help support the local community:

PPE Frontline Visor:

Utilizing our Ultimaker 3D printers to print PPE for frontline workers. We responded to a call from 3DCrowd UK, organisers of a nationwide effort to produce thousands of visors for frontline workers using a single, printable design. Harry has worked hard to refine our printing process and is using his own Prusia I3MK3 3D printer to greatly increase output. We shipped our first batch of 65 visors on the 15th April.

Multipurpose claw: Designed by Jon Bleasby.

Designed to reduce the risk of virus transfer, small 3D printable gadget for opening doors and operating office equipment without the need to touch them directly.

Ear Saver:

We are also printing “ear-saver” headbands for mask wearers to reduce the amount of rubbing behind the ears when worn for an extensive period. These are making their way to local hospitals along with our stock of protective glasses for employee spouses and colleagues working within the NHS.

All these efforts have been supported by Harry Mason (Trainee Engineering Technician), Jonathan Bleasby (Electro Mechanical Design Engineer) Dave Mason (Test Development Manager), Aaron Walsh (Engineering Services Manager) and Dennis Bay (Managing Director).

Spellman has also registered with GOV.UK to provide our services with regard to design and manufacture of power supplies for ventilators or other critical medical equipment.
