Why Humanitarian Organizations Use 3D Printing

Why Humanitarian Organizations Use 3D Printing

3D printing is already transforming humanitarian response globally. e-NABLE has delivered prosthetic hands to 10,000-15,000 recipients. MSF has used 3D printed prosthetics at their Amman hospital since 2018.

Proven in Jordan

MSF (Doctors Without Borders) pioneered 3D printed prosthetics and burn compression masks at their Amman hospital starting in 2018

public

Dramatically Lower Cost

A 3D printed prosthetic hand costs as little as $75 — versus thousands for traditional fabrication. Open-source designs from e-NABLE are free.

Local Production

No import delays. Print custom solutions in Amman, days instead of weeks. Refugee Open Ware (Jordan-based) has proven this model works.

Customizable Solutions

Every patient, every classroom, every field situation is different. 3D printing enables one-off custom solutions at mass production prices.

MSF Amman — 3D Printed Prosthetics

Since 2018, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has used 3D printing at their reconstructive surgery hospital in Amman to create prosthetic limbs and burn compression masks for patients injured in conflict. This pioneering work proved that 3D printed medical devices can serve humanitarian populations effectively.

Refugee Open Ware — Jordan Innovation

This Jordan-based startup, supported by the Royal Hashemite Court and FabFoundation, partnered with the National Syrian Project for Prosthetic Limbs to build customized 3D printed prosthetics — including a superhero-themed hand for a child — at a fraction of traditional costs. They also worked with UNICEF on mobile innovation labs.
