Field Ready closed 2016 on a strong note and aims to make 2017 equally positive. Our programs helped thousands of people through such initiatives as designing and manufacturing medical, water/sanitation and other useful devices in humanitarian situations, including 3D printed radio antennas and cast-molded cook stoves.
