Nimble Manufacturing
Hyper-local Manufacturing
Deployable Makerspaces
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
• 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

Crisis mapping
3D Printing Trends May 2015
Humanitarian Hackathons!
Makerspaces saving lives!
FabLabs in the field!
Peer to peer connections between maker spaces around the world
Innovation spaces in the fieldenable open innovation
and mobilise innovators around the world
Innovation spaces in the fieldrequire the right model,
approachand discipline to be effective
Next steps
• More field trials & proof of concepts!• More manufacturing technologies
– Injection moulding– Metalwork– …
• Build community• Work up design catalogue• Power solutions
Deployable Makerspaces
