A “low-cost” subtractive method for freshly finished 3D concrete printed structures

a low-cost method for optical tomography

introduction: in this study, arrangement of a low-cost optical tomography device compared to other methods such as frequency domain diffuse tomography or time domain diffuse tomography is reported. this low-cost diffuse optical imaging technique is based on the detection of light after propagation in tissue. these detected signals are applied to predict the location of in-homogeneities inside p...

Evaluation of a low-cost, 3D-printed model for bronchoscopy training.

BACKGROUND Flexible bronchoscopy is a fundamental procedure in anaesthesia and critical care medicine. Although learning this procedure is a complex task, the use of simulation-based training provides significant advantages, such as enhanced patient safety. Access to bronchoscopy simulators may be limited in low-resource settings. We have developed a low-cost 3D-printed bronchoscopy training mo...

Ultra-Low-Cost Printed Electronics

Low cost production of 3D-printed devices and electrostimulation chambers for the culture of primary neurons

The analysis of primary neurons is a basic requirement for many areas of neurobiology. However, the range of commercial systems available for culturing primary neurons is functionally limiting, and the expense of these devices is a barrier to both exploratory and large-scale studies. This is especially relevant as primary neurons often require unusual geometries and specialised coatings for opt...

Subtractive 3D Printing of Optically Active Diamond Structures

Controlled fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures is an essential step in engineering of high performance photonic and optoelectronic devices. Diamond in particular has recently attracted considerable attention as a promising platform for quantum technologies, photonics and high resolution sensing applications. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of optically active, functional diamond str...
