Building 3D printing capacity in Kenya
Project Background
Process
Key Outputs
Aston University
Industrial designers at Aston developed a range of product concepts created using Kenyan made AB3D printers. Ten product case studies were produced that demonstrate the depth and diversity of 3D printing.
Voltarent Engineering
Engineers at Voltarent worked to design new 3D printing hardware. A Kenyan made 3D printer was developed, which reduces production time and improves print quality.
University of Nairobi
Staff and students in the industrial design department were provided with, and educated in 3D printing. The provision of these printers has enabled the use of this technology in their curriculum.
