3D printing and the bottom billion
- 1. 3D printing for humanitarian aid @FldRdy www.fieldready.org @LaurieJ laura.james@fieldready.org
- 2. 60% to 80% of aid income procurement, international and local transport, warehousing, distribution, associated activities e.g. information management $10bn – $15bn per year Tatham, P.H., and Pettit, S.J. (2010), “Transforming humanitarian logistics: the journey to supply network management”, International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistics Management, Vol. 40 No. 8/9, pp. 609-622.
- 6. Nimble Manufacturing Hyper-local manufacturing 3D printing (&more)
- 7. Key finding from Haiti: We can make useful things in the field
- 9. Umbilical Cord Clamps • Cost off the shelf in China $0.1 • Cost off the shelf in Haiti $1 • Cost of printing & electricity for a clamp is $0.2 • Cost of labour for printing is $0.4 • Total cost is $0.6 40% cheaper without a supply chain when made in the field (this cost will come down)
- 10. Innovation spaces in the field allow for close, rapid user engagement
- 12. Innovation spaces in the field can help to build responses on local capacities
- 19. Learning / challenges from Haiti • 3d printers aren’t enough: need richer remote manufacturing setup – And robust power • Need training – and a design mindset to find new solutions • Plastic recycling is possible but not good enough yet • Quality & testing is important
- 20. More recently in Nepal
- 22. 3D design is hard
- 23. Crisis mapping
- 24. 3D Printing Trends May 2015
- 26. Humanitarian Hackathons! Makerspaces saving lives! FabLabs in the field! Peer to peer connections between maker spaces around the world
- 27. Learning / challenges from Nepal • Customs argh • Local skills • Global design support works! – It’s not always 3DP
- 28. Innovation spaces in the field Enabling open innovation Mobilising innovators around the world Working in partnership Respecting communities and collaborating
- 29. Next steps • More field trials & proof of concepts! • More manufacturing technologies – Injection moulding – Metal parts – … • Build global humanitarian maker community • Work up design catalogue – open hardware! • Power solutions • The Remote Manufacturing Unit
- 31. Remote manufacturing units – deployable makerspaces Humanitarian Makers Platform for field innovation Exponential technology

Notes de l'éditeur
- So let me tell you a little bit about Field Ready We’re a humanitarian start-up, founded by humanitarian relief workers
- In terms of scale…
- Not just 3D printers…
- umbilical cord clamps and s hooks for IV drips are being used - 100 were printed in two weeks – about a month’s supply
- two things that made a big difference to identifying opportunities... people can't think of what they need! so... 1) we took things we thought that they would want 2) catalogue of medical equipment for hospital purchasers - uses pictures! so don't need to know names - chose gas stopcocks (needs a different design) - used the catalogue as a prompt
- gas fittings are approximately water tight but not water tight - trialled a treatment process using acetone
- we had a print success rate of 90% during development; prints failed due to nozzle jams, power cuts, machine knocks etc. In production - making 50 of them - success was better at 95% (tended to print in singles because of power risk)
- Not just 3D printers…
- Not just 3D printers…
- James mentioned fears of government relating to 3D printing… skilled manufacturers being made redundant - putting local manufacturers out of work BUT: I believe we are moving from an industrial paradigm to a network paradigm… urban population growth is a key need for change: population of Tanzania… how will they get jobs… need to do it themselves… time to democratise making if more people are going to get jobs… massive small change. But let’s not get carried away… people aren’t stupid, if it’s not economic or practical, it won’t be done… ? intellectual property? Appropedia; thingyverse; myminifactory; printing weapons?
