Unique Short Tree Design as part of a 3D printing network in Michigan is rushing to aid Ukrainians during wartime by printing parts for tourniquets. The humanitarian effort is being led locally by Automation Alley’s Project DIAMOnD, which is working with Makershelp, a 3D printing organization in Denmark, to fulfill a request from the Ukrainian Defense Ministry to supply tourniquets to help those in need of medical assistance during the Russian assault on Ukraine. Project DIAMOnD will activate its emergency mode to mobilize all printers in its network to print tourniquet clips before final assembly in Denmark. In times of crisis, like wartime and pandemics, 3D printing is the ideal technology to produce needed parts because of its flexibility and speed. The designs for parts can also be shared digitally among multiple locations and producers.
