Optimizing Open-Source Designs for Research Applications and Workflow Efficiency
Matthew J. Knecht et al.
The usability of 3D printing, large libraries of open-source designs in the scientific community, allows researchers to expand subskills tailored to their research needs. This allows for customizable solutions to unique challenges in any laboratory. Applications range from small-scale prints to fully programmable automated systems. Researchers would be able to print a simple conical tube holder at their convenience, or pursue larger more complex designs such as more accessible versions of tablet
