Final Report: Rapid manufacturing - Refining the Approach

This project aimed to transform the way humanitarian logistics are done by disrupting and improving supply chains through the use of technology, especially 3D printers (3DP), engaging and training local people in this approach. 3DP provides one way to disrupt the current challenges of providing relief programmes with the right supplies and may also help overcome barriers to importation that governments sometimes impose. International humanitarian response has yet to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by such recent technological advances.The final report for the Development stage of this project provides information on the methodology, activities, outputs, impact and dissemination of learning.
