Exactly, sort of like Thingiverse for a growing variety of solutions to disaster, development and conflict problems backed up by ready to deploy manufacturing centers in standard shipping containers. Idea is to work with Red Cross, Dictors Without Borders and others to provide technical support with design and CAD/CAM development of practical solutions to the problems they face. The shipping container factories can be pre-positioned in stable strategic areas for rapid deployment where needed. As experience is developed we would have a growing library of off the shelf designs ready for rapid tooling and at least mid scale mass production.

It's still very much an idea in play at the moment but I am getting some interest with a few academic and commercial players with a lot better idea than I have of what is possible. A large part of it would involve crowdsourcing solutions from the growing expertise of makers and artisans like the ones here. If the academics drive basic research and turn over the promising parts to this mob of mad geniuses we will see a lot more innovation leading to practical field solutions faster.

It's a long shot but one worth at least trying.
