Open Source Everything: Potential Success Areas
In this series, we previously explored how people use open-source hardware to develop unique tools, solutions, and projects. We also identified key elements for a successful open-source hardware initiative. Now,…
Open Source Grinding Machine Cuts Cost of Pellet 3D Printing
In pursuing the Distributed Recycling and Additive Manufacturing (DRAM) approach to open-source hardware development, a significant challenge lies in addressing the high cost of the compression screw component for alternative…
Scientists 3D Print an Effective Terahertz Waveguide
The terahertz (THz) wave is the electromagnetic radiation at frequencies from 0.1 to 10 THz, which is located between the millimeter wave and the far infrared wave. It has not…
3D Printing and a Smartphone Create an Inexpensive, Compact Interferometer
Smartphones serve many functions, including that of scientific instruments. With a little tinkering and 3D printing help, makers have turned smartphones into things like microscopes, and in a paper entitled…
Assessing the Potential for 3D Printed Equipment in Cleanrooms
3D printing has been used by scientists to save money on lab equipment, which is typically quite expensive. Things get a bit complicated, however, when it comes to equipment that…
3D Printing Inexpensive Lab Equipment with the Custom Lab Institute
One thing we’re particularly passionate about at 3DPrint.com is when 3D printing is an enabler. When our technology is used to radically change others lives, industries and practices through being…
Experiment Tests the Suitability of 3D Printing Materials for Creating Lab Equipment
Many scientists are discovering that 3D printing is an effective, inexpensive way to make certain kinds of lab equipment, such as reactors, microscopes and more. But when chemicals are involved,…
