Open-Source Lab: How to Build Your Own Hardware and Reduce Scientific Research Costs details the development of the free and open-source hardware revolution. The combination of open-source 3D printing and microcontrollers running on free software enables scientists, engineers, and lab personnel in every discipline to develop powerful research tools at unprecedented low costs. After reading Open-Source Lab, you will be able to: lower equipment costs by making your own hardware; build open-source hardware for scientific research; actively participate in a community in which scientific results are more easily replicated and cited; numerous examples of technologies and the open-source user and developer communities that support them; instructions on how to take advantage of digital design sharing; explanations of Arduinos and RepRaps for scientific use; and a detailed guide to open-source hardware licenses and basic principles of intellectual property.
