Andrew Lamb is an author, engineer, and advocate for the local production of relief items used in humanitarian aid.[1]
Lamb was the founder of Engineers without Borders UK where he worked as the CEO. He was a technical editor for the inaugural UNESCO engineering report, as well as two book chapters.
He is an advocate for the local manufacturing of relief goods, having calculated that 40% to 50% of humanitarian aid spending could be saved if they were manufactured local to the emergency.[1] As the engineering adviser for Field Ready[7] Lamb responded to the Haiti earthquake where he used 3D printers to make umbilical chord clamps.[4] Following the Nepal Earthquakes he travelled to Bahrabise and used 3D printers to make components to repair water distribution systems.[7]
