It’s been three years since a massive earthquake ravaged Haiti, and the island nation is still recovering. One large and pervasive obstacle is a lack of supplies—specifically, medical supplies. So iLab Haiti is exploring how 3D printing can be used to just make them on the spot. . .
Right now, iLab is still in the testing period with its 3D-printed supplies. They’ve made, for example, roughly four prototypes of an umbilical cord clamp using ABS plastic material. But the group wants to make sure the tools are perfectly safe to use on humans before they actually, you know, use them on humans.
