AFRICAN BORN 3D PRINTING

In Kenya, the start-up AB3D (African Born 3D Printing) aims at bringing transformative 3D printing technology to African producers. In a one-stop-shop for 3D printing in Nairobi, they offer access to 3D printers, material, workshops, and open-source designs. The team manufactures 3D printers from recycled materials, such as electronic scrap, and keep the costs for a printer low. This makes the printers affordable and accessible for a wide variety of local manufacturers, including those who use them to create social impact.
