60% to 80% of aid income

procurement, international and local transport, warehousing, distribution, associated activities e.g. information

management

$10bn – $15bn per year

Nimble Manufacturing

Hyper-local manufacturing

3D printing (&more)

Page 7: 3D printing and the bottom billion

Key finding from Haiti:

We can make useful things in the field

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)

Innovation spaces in the fieldallow for close, rapid user

engagement

Innovation spaces in the fieldcan help to build responses

on local capacities

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

Humanitarian Hackathons!

Makerspaces saving lives!

FabLabs in the field!

Peer to peer connections between maker spaces around the world

Page 27: 3D printing and the bottom billion

Learning / challenges from Nepal

• Customs argh• Local skills• Global design support works!

– It’s not always 3DP

Page 28: 3D printing and the bottom billion

Innovation spaces in the fieldEnabling open innovationMobilising innovators around the worldWorking in partnershipRespecting communities and collaborating

Page 29: 3D printing and the bottom billion

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
