Metalworking

SLIDE 5

DIGITAL DESIGNS

Easily replicable
Open source
Relatively quick to make
Transfer files around the world in

seconds $10 Otoscope (Right) developed in Nepal, since used in Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Kenya.

SLIDE 6

DIGITAL DESIGNS TO REAL AID ITEMS

SLIDE 7

3D PRINTING

Globally: Leading efforts to incorporate 3DP into humanitarian sector with focus on manufacturing aid items at point of need. Nepal: Under DFID’s Frontier T echnology Livestreaming project Field Ready has:

Mapped all sector actors
Designed dozens of items for humanitarian use
Printed hundreds of items
Identified areas of need and potential impact
Pioneered ‘active’ needs assessment methodology

SLIDE 8

ADDING CAPACITY

Added production capacity to needs

assessments for partners.

A portable 3D printer capable of

producing useful humanitarian aid items will range from $500 to $2000 USD. It can run off battery power, solar or mains.

Field Ready have used 3D printers

across the world and technicians can use them with basic training.

SLIDE 9

MEDICAL SECTOR SUPPORT

Nepal, Syria and Kenya: Low cost

spares and repairs in medical facilities using 3D printing and basic electronics.

Developed low-cost medical devices
therwise unaffordable.

SLIDE 10

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Products under development include:

- Fluid Warmer
- Syringe Destroyer
- Vein finder
- Otoscope

Benefits

Locally produced
Maintained easily
50-90% cheaper

SLIDE 11

FOOD Timor Leste: Fixing drip irrigation systems. Syria & Jordan: Low-cost hydroponics systems for displaced people.

SLIDE 12

WASH

Iraq: Surprising Incentives – pictured left, 3D printed toys in soaps, co-designed with kids in refugee camps, increased handwashing uptake by 240% Nepal & South Pacific: Research ongoing into 3D Printed Water Pipe Fittings for emergency deployment, repairs and contexts where supply chains and markets have broken down.

SLIDE 13

SHELTER

Reconstruction housing models (Right) designed in

Nepal.

Designs used for Malawi flood response in 2017 and

for reconstruction after the Nepal Gorkha Earthquakes.

Now the models are available to download for free
nline.

SLIDE 14

RESCUE TECH

Low-cost, locally produced Search and

Rescue Equipment – International Standard

Delivered 200 heavy lift airbags in Syria

and Nepal.

Capable of lifting 5000kg each.
Costs 1/10th of the commercial

alternative.

Saved 8 lives in Syria in last 12 months

SLIDE 15

POWER

Re-established power supplies in US Virgin Islands
Reclaiming damaged solar panels after Hurricane Maria
Highly effective for displaced people
Model for future responses

SLIDE 16

LIVELIHOODS

Digital Manufacturing as an enabling technology Nepal: Pictured right is the cookstove air supply disk made by Madhukar KC – digitally designed and 3D printed by Field Ready 20,000 ordered and government contracts as a result

SLIDE 17

TRAINING

Field Ready offer training and facilitation for partners in:

Rapid Prototyping
Product Development
Design Thinking
Collaborative Design
Needs Assessment
Risk Assessment
Market Assessment
