What potential does 3D printing have for developing economies?
Can 3D printing combined with mobile internet access enable developing economies in Africa and elsewhere to create a new manufacturing model that overcomes their deficit in traditional manufacturing infrastructure (roads, transportation, logistics, finance etc.) and constrained development to-date?
Could we be on the verge of a lower cost and way more flexible model ideally suited to under-developed regions where on-site and one-off manufacturing provides scarce spare parts for products manufactured elsewhere and a new generation of local products specifically designed for local needs?
Closing Statement from Brendan Dunphy
I would conclude that there is certainly scope for 3D printing & manufacturing to help fill the local manufacturing hole in many developing markets in Africa and elsewhere but its no panacea. The 'maker movement' has taken root in South Africa, Nigeria and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa so it will be interesting to see how these pioneers develop. There is no shortgae of VC funds seeking opportunities and all it will take is a major local success for the potential to take shape and the media to notice. Some policy makers in Nigeria are keen to build a 'traditional' manufacturing base (as they have seen succesful Asian economies do) and believe this is an essential stepping stone to a brighter economic future. This may be true but I still wonder whether new 'bottom-up' models enabled by 3D printing may provide a complimentary, or even alternative, route to a manufacturing economy "Made in Africa"?
wayne uejio
May 27 2013: Quite a bit, it could be a major game changer not only in the developing world but also in the developed world. But it is not going to happen overnight. there will be changes in the software and the materials used to create the parts. they are organic or plastics which are not as strong as metal parts.the software needs to easier to use, more reliable, more flexible.
- +1
today the user needs to understand a fairly high level of math. this is just one thing the software must change.May 26 2013: I surely agree with your view that 3Ds helps local needs of under-developed regions. In this world of today, Items specifically tailor-made to respective local requirements are the 'must' to help further develop economic level of
under-developed area. People in uder-developed area can go with step by step advance of their life, you cannot
just let them have those modern gadgets popular among developed countries. For example,automobile manufacturers now diversify their products tailored to respective living standards.
Ozay Ozaydin
May 25 2013: In my opinion, developing economies have more flexibility than the developed countries with respect to adopting new paradigm shifts, and as 3D printing offers a lower initial cost for manufacturing with acceptable limitations and drawbacks, it will definitely be a game changer and a potential boost for them.
- +1
This TED talk by Alastair Parvin is an example of simplified thinking and a new way for especially emerging countries to do more with less sources.
May 26 2013: I agree Ozay, I think it could be a game-changer and at least help reduce the manufacturing gap between developed and developing economies. Thanks for the link!
Morgan Knapp
May 15 2013: Not if we don't reform copyright law.
- +1
That is the actual goal of the copyright lawyers and govts right now.
If all designs have to be protected, then all 3D printers have to be registered, and controlled for copyright protection.
The spare parts angle is the largest i see, but see above.
The biggest thing is actually the reduction of transportation costs and recycling the waste stream at the same time.
Brian BASHAM
May 14 2013: I have not thought about it as deeply as you have - I am very ashamed to say. My childhood (and adult hood) fantasy came to life and I thought we are so much closer to the replicators in Star Trek. Sorry
- +1
But now you have shamed me out of my fantasy world :-) (just joking), I think there is huge potential for this application. Although, I am unsure how big the printers will get to? To make the items you are thinking of
I did think that we may never buy things any more as we will be able to reproduce those small insane parts that wear away and cause us to thrown things out. This would indeed be great for the planet as we will have less waste.May 13 2013: It will trigger a manufacturing boom to the small community, growing the economic pie and putting mpre legs ro balance and support the national economy. It will bring new industries and redefine efficiency and turn everything more efficient. Tool can be printed on the run. Better quality education. Rise of ideas. More creative and productive society.May 11 2013: This is a good question. Already the US is trying to shut down the designs for plastic guns. If this technology is a threat to manufacturing as a whole, I wonder if governments will step in and try to circumvent it's growth in the industrial market.
I would say it will definitly have an impact on the economies of scale, that is, if it increases and industry uses it, there may be a slump in manufacturing world wide.
If you could manufacture all the replacement parts you need for you devices at home, how would that impact companies that provide DIY products for home improvement, etc?
As these printers become more affordable and can be used to print more than plastic, I'm sure people will buy them. The big question, I belive will be around patenting designs. The designs are just computer files that can be uploaded and put to work immediately. There will be issues with copyright theft, etc.
The savings for such devices used on military ships, submarines, space stations, to name a few will be extrodinary. When they can print food and water, we may have to change the way we do business. Perhaps we may have to do away with money all together and develope a different system of trade.
We may expound on the virtues of a capitalist system of economy but technology is focused to do away with parts of the economic system, espeially, the labor variable. If we can't create an even flow between resource avaliability, population density, and technological advancement, we will run into trouble in the future. Perhaps such devices as the 3d printer should be a wake up call to us all, especially if manufacturing takes them on as the ultimate, manufacturing device. I belive that in the immediate future, design has a place but as people start creating their own designs, we will move away from interdependence on products for personal use.May 10 2013: Thanks Prasad. But is this a' show stopper'? Or just another example of technology being put to bad rather than good use? The choice is ours.....
May 11 2013: Maybe, maybe not. Sadly thats the world we live in. I followed a course on Rapid Prototyping using 3D printing in college, it was all so fascinating, the possibilities to build a better future are endless. An early 3D printer (not sure of the type though) was demonstrated in Jurassic Park 3 (yeah the movie!), they used it to replicate a velociraptor's vocal column. Though the movie was intended to be science fiction, some aspects were clearly real.
Once 3D printing is popularized, their demanded increases, cost decreases and CAD technicians become Gods. However, with a dose of corruption and a pinch of money, what'll stop extremists from designing and manufacturing firearms in a basement?
Unless violence is eradicated from the human genome, it is best if useful, life changing technologies are left under utilised. Should it fall into the wrong hands, 3D printing may suffer the same fate as gunpowder; from fireworks to shotguns.
May 11 2013: Yes, technology creates many challenges Prasad as you correctly point-out.But is there an alternative and on balance, do we get more benefits than problems? Its not an easy equation and I for one would prefer that nuclear had never happened but now we are stuck with it and its overbearing threat to our security and life. Maybe with more experience we can become better at controlling our technologies, extracting the goodness and more effectively limiting the dangers. I see no sign that 3D printing will not be adopted because of the fears you raise and I hope this continues to be the case. Thanks for the comments Prasad, they are appreciated!
May 11 2013: Brendan, I have given it some thought. I may have to retract my statement of large scale manufacture of firearms using 3D printing, but the possibility still itches at the back of my mind because a few have achieved it. I apologise for being such a pessimist. I sincerely wish a laid back industry such 3D printing takes a big leap forward. 3D printing has never been an option, accessible or even know to the common man, such technology will not only be technically helpful but also be an inspiration to others. Hope a see an organization revolutionize 3D printing, much like Xerox did to photocopying. Heck I would buy one for myself if it becomes cost effective, it's an engineer's dream.
A technical issue would be sort out the printing methods best suited for on-site application and the materials/resin used in printing, can they be more economical and meet all the requirements?
Example; when installing pipes, sometimes fittings like elbows and tees are of inferior quality or the required size is not manufactured by the manufacturer. Should 3D printing (printer and materials) be a worthwhile investment, the contractor/fitter can print the required parts in advance and assemble with ease. With that comes the problem of designing the parts and CAD literacy, both can be solved by a web-site or app which provides access to ready to print part designs.May 13 2013: Prasad:: It sounds as though you regret the invention of gunpowder. Think again. Remember that after the fall of the Roman Empire, new forms of "government" developed, Feudalism, which is very similar to the Mafia, literally. People were very poor after that, and ambitious people found that by investing in expensive steel weapons, like swords and armor, he could become a "leader:, with a small gang of well armed followers with horses, swords, and armor, all out of the reach of ordinary people. So they were helpless. Until guns were invented. Like the motto: " God made Man, Colt made them equal." Thomas Jefferson would be scandalized to hear that many modern people can't seem to understand that.

May 9 2013: Absolutely. It will allow them to skip over the need for the infrastructure simliar to cell phones. But I don't see it becoming a panacea.
- +1
When nano engineering gets going it will replace 3d printing.
May 9 2013: The beauty of 3D printing (additive manufacturing) is its relative simplicity, flexibility and declining cost coupled with increased quality. Its certainly not a panacea but when there is nothing, or close to nothing, it does look like a big step forward.May 9 2013: Well they cannot afford to feed people. I doubt they can afford 3D printers. The issue here is the cost of industry and the impact of dysfunctional governance.
May 9 2013: Investment in sub-Saharan Africa is at record levels and GDP growth ahead of elsewhere so I don't think lack of investment is the issue. Poor governance is an issue but not universal so I don't see that as the inhibitor. Maybe if it can be proven locally then the money will follow?May 23 2013: Interesting to see this article re Many-to-Many Manufacturing based on a review of 'Makers: The New Industrial Revolution, by Chris Anderson' at http://www.strategy-business.com/article/00153?gko=e7035&cid=BL20130523&utm_campaign=BL20130523 (registration may be required)May 18 2013: The space economy already making this investment some people dont understand and will miss this because they dont want to take a risk fine by me.May 16 2013: Its a key point you raise Morgan. I'd be interested to know more about the state of those discussions: any links you can provide? Thanks in advance, Brendan.May 14 2013: Agreed Brian, it would help the sustainability agenda. I like the idea of printing spare parts locally as needed and of course that has a whole different meaning and much greater impact in under-developed economies.May 10 2013: Quite an achievable feat, however some are manufacturing fire arm assemblies by FDM. So there arises the task of regulating the printing of components.

|Historic Vermont Ski Jump Reopens
Photo from Harris Hill Ski Jump
Almost every year for the past 85 years, ski jumpers from around the world have converged on the village of Brattleboro Vermont to take part in the "original extreme sport."
They will do so again this year on February 14 and 15 but the difference will be that the Harris Hill jump has been completely rebuilt. It's literally brand new and with luck it will last another 85 years.
After the town got together and raised about half a million dollars, demolition and rebuilding continued through the last year. It was either that or lose what those in the ski jumping world consider an iconic structure in the sport. There are no others in New England and only six others in the USA of its size.
Harris Hill was built by a visionary named Fred Harris who devoted a large portion of his life to building and maintaining the jump.
The jump is just one mile from Exit 2 on I-91. Driving directions are on the website.

|Three Types of Festivals This Weekend
Three types of festivals here in Vermont this weekend: two winter festivals, a music festival, and a distinctive, old time ice harvesting festival. Imagine all that in this one tiny state!
Not just a winter festival, but a Viking Winter Festival! Saturday and Sunday, January 31 and February 1 in Ludlow VT.
Make a snow sculpture and enter in the sculpture contest, watch the parade on Main Street, play in the kids' obstacle course, view fireworks in the town park and enjoy the bonfire and hot chocolate.
The Bennington Winterfest is Saturday, January 31.
There will be an ice sculpture contest, Penguin Plunge, house tours, dog sled rides, indoor food featuring a chili tasting, and for the kids, face painting, bouncy house, games, prizes, band and some other nonsense. Be sure you see the pet winter fashion contest and bring your own well dressed dog or cat to enter.
In nearby Brattleboro, the Northern Roots Festival is celebrating its second annual gathering this Saturday.
The festival brings together about two dozen local and regional musicians who specialize in old musical traditions including Irish, Scottish, English and French Canadian.
It will be held at New England Youth Theater, 100 Flat Street, in downtown Brattleboro.
Performances start at 1:30 and go to about 5:00. There is also a 7:30 evening performance.
Northern Roots has a MySpace page you can visit here and listen to some of the music.
The 30th Annual Brookfield Ice Harvest on Saturday, January 31, recreates ice harvesting as it was done in the days before refrigeration. Back in the old days, large chunks of ice were carved form lakes and ponds to be stored in buildings with thick walls sometimes insulated with hay, wool, newspaper or whatever else was lying around. It provided an efficient way to store food to keep it from spoiling.
There will be a talk, a demonstration, cutting competition, and hauling competition that adults and kids can try (prizes will be awarded). Also, there will be snowshoeing and ice sculpting. Brookfield is famous for its floating bridge.
Thee will also be food, ice skating, and dog sledding. Brookfield is a wonderful little town full of Vermont charm.

New Jersey DevilsThe National Hockey League's New Jersey Devils have called Prudential Center home since 2007-08. The only sports team proud to wear New Jersey on its chest was established in 1982 and named after the legendary Jersey Devil, which roamed the Pinelands of south Jersey. The Devils made their mark in the Garden State, capturing the Stanley Cup on multiple occasions. Built in downtown Newark, New Jersey, the 17,625-seat arena was the first built in the metropolitan area in more than 25 years and is the driving force behind the city's revitalization. This panoramic photo of Jersey's Team on its home ice was taken by James Blakeway.
A must for any true New Jersey hockey fan! Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality print stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo, the commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this Prudential Center game night panorama is both a beauty for the wall, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of home, office, locker room or classroom!

The stage is set for an epic battle over the Hispanic vote in the presidential election, but so far, President Obama is crushing the competition.
The president has already invested $1 million in Spanish-language media over the last five weeks. The campaign is airing about half a dozen television and radio spots in three toss-up states where a growing Hispanic population could swing the outcome: Florida, Colorado, and Nevada. The ads star Hispanic community leaders talking about how the president's health care and education reforms have affected their lives.
In contrast, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has spent only about $13,000 on Spanish-language media since he clinched the nomination. He quietly launched his first ad in Spanish last week with only $3,000 worth of television time in Raleigh, N.C., a battleground state with a burgeoning but relatively small Hispanic population. Another $10,000 in air time was purchased this week, according to media trackers.
(RELATED: The Next America—How Demography Shapes the Agenda)
"For Romney to go up with such a limited Spanish media buy is like watering the desert," said Democratic strategist Freddy Balsera, who advises Obama on Hispanic outreach. He said the campaign's Spanish-language ads will expand to other states and continue airing until November.
While Obama's ads are specifically targeted at a Hispanic audience, Romney's Spanish-language ads are exactly the same as his ads in English, only translated into Spanish. A narrator asks, "What would a Romney presidency be like?" and promises tax cuts, more jobs, and the repeal of Obama's health care law.
The stark differences between the two campaigns in the tone and breadth of their initial Spanish-language advertising come as polls show Romney trailing far behind among Hispanic voters. The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll of Latino voters found Obama sitting on a 34-point lead.
"Romney's window of opportunity is still open, but I would advise them to ramp up their Spanish-language media as soon as possible and make it continuous," said Jennifer Korn, executive director of the Hispanic Leadership Network, a Republican-leaning group. "It would also be smart if they did a few tailor-made advertisements for the Hispanic community. That doesn't mean he's sending a different message, but he's showing he understands the community."
(RELATED: Only Quarter of Latino Voters Like Romney, GOP)
To be sure, the election is more than five months away, and there's plenty of time for Romney and the super PACs backing him to roll out a Spanish-language media blitz. The Republican National Committee has promised an unprecedented outreach and has dispatched Hispanic directors to six battleground states: Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia.
"We're just getting started," said Stuart Stevens, a top Romney strategist. "These are day-to-day decisions." Asked why the Spanish-language ads are not targeted at a Hispanic audience, Stevens said, "Hispanic voters care about these issues, about jobs and trade and the economy and the deficit."
Polls certainly bear that out. The economy is the top issue across the board. Romney, a former corporate executive, aims to reach Hispanic voters -- who have suffered disproportionately from the economic downturn -- with his broader message about creating jobs.
But highlighting a central difference between the two parties, Democrats argue that the harsh stance Romney took against illegal immigration in the Republican primaries will hamstring any Hispanic outreach. Romney attacked his former rival, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, for backing college tuition breaks for the children of undocumented workers, and he suggested that "self-deportation" would take care of the illegal immigrants already here. The former Massachusetts governor has spoken little about immigration since he became the presumptive nominee and began reaching out to an audience much broader than the GOP's conservative base.
Romney's speech to the Latino Coalition on Wednesday -- his second appearance before a Hispanic audience since he became the presumptive nominee -- was focused on education and didn't mention immigration at all. He has declined to take a position on a proposal by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, one of the most prominent Hispanic elected officials in the country, to offer legal status but not citizenship to the children of undocumented workers who attend college. Rubio also addressed the audience of business owners on Wednesday in a speech that touched on a number of topics related to the economy and the immigrant experience, including his revised version of the Dream Act.
"You don't have to talk about immigration every time you go in front of a Latino audience, but you have to talk about Latinos," said Ana Navarro, who advised former Republican nominee John McCain on Hispanic issues. "Romney got panned for that in the Hispanic press. Every demographic wants to be acknowledged and courted."
Conventional wisdom says a Republican candidate who wins 40 percent of the Hispanic vote will win the White House. McCain only got 32 percent in 2008. Still, it's possible that the Romney campaign is eyeing paths to victory that don't require him to do much better than McCain did among Hispanic voters, as long as he wins Hispanic-rich Florida and Arizona and keeps up his advantage over Obama among white voters.

Yummy! Very good! The only thing I have a problem with is people who change half the ingredients ( in lots of recipes on this site ) and then say the recipe isn't any good. How the heck would they know????
I did what was asked and then some more- from other reviewers and their advices. What a waste of time and effort.
1844 Ratings
I made this recipe AS IS before I made any changes and it was hands down the best chili recipe I have made!! next time though, I put my own little spin on it and I think it elevated it to another level! The recipe as is has a thinner consistency and isn't overly spicy. I added up to 1/2 tsp of cayenne to make it spicier, but what make it out of this world was 1/4 cup corn meal!!! Made it thick like chili you would get in a restaurant. This recipe makes a lot so you can freeze half if need be and is absolutely delicious!!!
I could eat this chili until my stomach bursts! All the ingredients are in the right proportion; I wouldn't suggest altering a single thing. Take it to a pot-luck and I guarantee that people will gobble it up. I like things hot, and I would consider this chili to be about a 5/10 on my scale. It'll clear your sinuses, but you won't be gulping down milk to cool your tongue! This recipe heats up well in the microwave, and freezes just fine - we've got three meal's worth in the deep freeze right now. By all means, give this chili recipe a try, I'm sure you'll like it.
I probably shouldn't rate this recipe because I made so many changes, but it is a great base recipe to tweak to your own liking. The end result was the best chili I have ever made!! I used 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb sausage to give a little more depth to the flavor. I also followed the advice of others and substituted the tomato juice with tomato sauce and the tomato sauce with diced tomatoes. I didn't realize that I was almost out of chili powder until I had already started the chili, so I only used about 1 T and added hot sauce (tobasco) in place of the rest of the chili powder. I used one can of chili beans (with liquid) and one can kidney beans (rinsed). I followed the rest of the seasonings. It only took about 15 minutes to put together, then I let it simmer for about 2 hours. Served with sour cream, cheese, fresh chopped tomatoes and corn chips. I will make this recipe over and over again. I have never received so many compliments - on anything I have ever made!!
I won the chili cook-off with this recipe last night. Everyone commented that they liked the combination of spicy and sweet. I adjusted the ingredients to feed 15 people. I also followed the first couple of reviews and substituted tomato juice for paste, and diced tomatos for juice. FYI, for 15 people, I used 2, 28oz cans of diced tomato, and 2, 29oz cans of tomato sauce. It's a bit thick till it cooks down. Enjoy!!
If I could rate this chili more than 5 stars I would! 5 stars for easy! 5 stars for delicious! I have been making this for over a year and I have tried it different ways. Now I use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato juice, and diced tomatoes with diced green chilies in place of tomato sauce. I use 1 can of kidney beans, one of pinto and one of black (all rinsed) in leiu of one of the lbs of beef, thus cutting down on the sat. fat and red meat content. Doubled the cumin because I like the smokiness. I also added one hot jalepeno without the seeds, diced, or cayenne pepper. I throw it all in the crockpot and let it cook for about 4 hours. SPECTACULAR!
I also changed the tomato juice - to tomato sauce...and the tomato sauce to diced tomatoes (no salt added). Otherwise, followed exactly as written. This chili was EXCELLENT. Everyone commented how good it was -- not once, but multiple times -- as they ate two and three bowls each!
