Uganda - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

FormulateUganda is a project dedicated to promoting the adoption and development of products using 3D printing technology in Uganda. I'm aiming for a future where Uganda is at the forefront of Mass-product Manufacturing using 3D printing technology

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

With the primary aim of creating structures for individuals,businesses and organizations to access information and resources to better understand and utilize the benefits of Mass product Manufacturing using our In-house 3dprinting machines,tools & skills. Our integral plans include: - fore-fronting 3d Education, Driving innovation and growth of the 3Dprinting industry in Uganda. Helping to transform the way products are designed, developed and manufactured in the Country with low recyclable material wastage & Mass customization, With the help of our in-house developed designs & Products that will include replacement parts for the medical devices, automotive parts, prosthetic parts, interior and outdoor 3d printed products like Lighting’s & 3d Promotional Merchandise for companies that will help drive & promote different organizations messages .With Formulate Africa i aim towards a future where Uganda is at the forefront of Mass-product Manufacturing using 3Dprinting technology.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Problem: High Product Manufacturing Costs, Long Lead times, The steel/aluminum molds that are used with Traditional injection molding to make plastic parts can take months to machine & can only be done in China currently. The injection molder sends a customer part samples for functional testing & dimensional measurements. If initial samples aren’t suitable, the mold maker has to adjust the tool, which extends project and product manufacturing timetables. With Formulate-Uganda: I’m aiming to streamline manufacturing through making it more efficient and cost effective, supporting low-volume production runs for new manufacturers. Setting up Formulate-Uganda will provide a very ideal alternative to Injection Molding that is currently led by Mukwano Group & Nice Group. Parts will be manufactured using low cost recyclable materials without the up front cost and long term storage costs enabling us to revolutionize the way we manufacture products and maximize Innovations in the country

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

Enabling Mass Product Manufacturing Without the need for Molds hence eliminating the need for shipping, warehousing,minimum Order quantities & the limitations of achieving complex designs with traditional manufacturing hence minimizing the costs of plastics product Manufacturing easing replacement parts manufacturing and boosting manufacturing in all sectors where 3d printing is applicable like the medical, auto-motives, energy and architectural sectors

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

Individuals,Businesses and Organisations with dedicated resources to promoting the adoption and development of products using 3D printing technology at our PrintFarm in Uganda.
