RI 3D Printers Alliance
Title
RI 3D Printers Alliance
Description
A group for those who 3D print based in Rhode Island. Created to help bring individuals, teams, companies, and researchers together to pool and share resources and experience to print critical items for essential workers.
The corona virus pandemic has depleted many essential supplies needed by our brave essential workers -- many of these items can be crowdsourced and created.
Things such as face shields, door openers, and simple masks can be easily printed and produced. Some of them have been CDC approved, and many of the plans are available online.
Many people are looking to help in whatever ways they can. Although initially our governor kindly passed on people's help, there may come a time when people are in need of items such as these to help.
This group is a place for those Rhode Islanders with 3D printers to meet and share ideas, plans, and builds, with the hope that maybe some of us can help create some things that will actually help people during this crisis.
There are many plans available for both extruding and resin printers.
Let's pool our resources together to help people!

RI3DPA was created in March 2020 as a Facebook group by 3D Printing enthusiasts from Rhode Island looking to put their skills, knowledge, and technology together during the Covid-19 crisis. Within the first few weeks the group had exploded in size and the first few prototypes were delivered. Soon the Alliance continued to expand and network, joining up with individuals, groups, and businesses outside of Facebook, eventually teaming up with the University of Rhode Island's Rapid Solvers group.
