3D printing and DIY

/

Over the past few years, 3D printing technology has been actively used both in scientific research and in the educational process. On the Internet everyone can find projects of colorimeters [1], laboratory shakers [2], peristaltic pumps [3], or even autosamplers for gas chromatographs [4].

Most open-source projects are distributed under a license allowing anyone to modify the source files. As a result, previously published designs can be modified rather than developing a new device from scratch.

This section of the site contains both projects developed by us from scratch and modifications of some devices previously published on the Internet.
