The number of people who have taken action with us to help the NHS and frontline workers
We are a thriving community of makers and problem solvers. Together we are delivering solutions and education to people who need it.
The 3D Crowd community is open to anyone who is interested in 3D printing at all levels and helping others, not just the 8,000+ volunteers who made 200,000 face shields.
Do you have a project large or small that would require a team of 3D printers to make items that would help to change lives? Please get in touch with our projects team.
We support projects in various ways. These can supported by our own fund raising, directly by the makers or paid for by the charity/organisation.
Requires advanced level involvement, but one that is perhaps the most rewarding as makers will see their efforts in action

Many care homes are struggling financially as a result of the pandemic. Many are struggling to balance PPE needs with costs
We are in the early days of building an online library of tested 3D printable designs to assist makers in or near areas of crisis to react faster.

3D PRINTING – COMMUNITY – EDUCTION.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and a variety of skill levels. Each project is run by an experienced project lead to manage our distributed manufacturing process.
Our community is what defines us and motivates us to do more and do it better. Without our community, we never would have been able to distribute 200,000 face shields.
We look to provide devolved education for community members by our members but also provide video and face to face education for STEM and BAME causes across the UK.
