There was already a realization that people tweeting about 3DP tend to use the hashtag #3DPrinting. However, unlike the more established ‘technology for development landscape’, where the social media convention of using #ict4d or #m4d to distinguish communication about technology and mobile technology in the Global South was an established convention, no such distinction existed for 3DP. Perhaps, slightly tongue-in-cheek, techfortrade adapted the established convention, #3D4D, as its own and it was a short step to settling on the 3D4D Challenge as the overall competition brand.
The proposed benefits of the initiative included the monetization of waste, in the form of plastic bags which litter the streets of Nairobi’s biggest slum, Kibera and many other slums. Using waste bags as a feedstock means it would be possible to pay workers to clean up this pollution. Local deployment of flexible 3D printers could mean that those in need might learn how to use 3DP while deploying and creating their own sustainable products. The final and the fallout On 12 September 2012, techfortrade announced the names of the finalists.
In only five weeks’ time the finalists would arrive in London for the live final and a chance to win US$100,000. All of the judges agreed to write about the 3D4D Challenge and post their blogs in the weeks leading up to the final, generating more interest in the event and its goals.
