Three dimensional printing – a key tool for the humanitarian logistician?

Peter Hugh Tatham; Jennifer Loy; Umberto Peretti

Purpose – 3D printing (3DP), which is technically known as additive manufacturing, is being increasingly used for the development of bespoke products within a broad range of commercial contexts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential for this technology to be used in support of the preparation and response to a natural disaster or complex emergency and as part of developmental activities, and to offer a number of key insights following a pilot trial based in the East African HQ of a major international non-governmental organisation. Design/methodology/approach – Using an illustrative example from the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) field this paper demonstrates, from both a theoretical and practical standpoint, how 3DP has the potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of humanitarian logistic (HL) operations. Findings – Based on the pilot trial, the paper confirms that the benefits of 3DP in bespoke commercial contexts – including the reduction of supply chain lead time...

Redesigning Production Systems

Jennifer Loy; Peter Hugh Tatham

If it was possible to wind back the clock on the first Industrial Revolution, then a redesign of production systems, based on the information available now, would focus on reducing environmental impacts, maximising resources and adding value to all products created, as well as taking into account the health and wellbeing of workers and the distribution of populations. Additive manufacturing, combined with digital communication technologies, delivers the possibility that many of the goals can be achieved—leading to a much healthier planet. Based on current research into sustainability and additive manufacturing outcomes, this chapter provides a vision for the redesign of current production systems, supply chains and values that serves as starting point for re-establishing the human relationship with manufacturing and business practice. Current drivers for change are discussed and opportunities for reducing the environmental impact of production systems directly enabled by additive manufacturing are then considered. These are based on integrating additive manufacturing into the supply chain and the potential impact on the development cycle, inventory management, logistic postponement and the management of spare parts.

3D Printing Sociocultural Sustainability

Jennifer Loy; Sam Canning; Natalie Haskell

Additive manufacturing, more commonly termed 3D printing, could be criticized as contrary to the principles of sustainability, as it enables unregulated production that can have a negative impact on the environment if misused. However, this technology can also support value added, invested design by putting accessible digital fabrication within the reach of the designer-maker. In an increasingly homogenized world, this technology has the potential to improve sociocultural sustainability (retaining social and cultural diversity as a factor of sustainability) by supporting the practice of the individual designer-maker. The technology has the potential to contribute to the economic viability of the designer-maker, providing an effective mechanism for an artisan to compete in a global market utilising distributed manufacturing, the availability of increased geometric complexity, and the ability to customize products. This chapter provides an argument for the potential role of 3D printing in supporting sociocultural sustainability and is based on practice-led research. The impact of digital fabrication on practice for designer-makers is explored in relation to its potential to support the retention of craftsmanship skills, values and cultural referencing particular to a community, and community of craft practice.
