Low-Cost 3D-Printed Polarimeter

Ultra-Low-Cost Printed Electronics

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...

Accuracy of a Low-Cost 3D-printed Head-Mounted Eye Tracker

This contribution presents a mobile modular low-cost open source 3D printed eye tracking prototype, equipped with two off-the-shelf webcams. We compared the accuracy with two state-of-the-art commercial remote eye trackers. In order to verify the benefit of head stabilization, the devices have been tested with and without a chin rest. Experiments have been conducted to determine the feasibility...

Validation of an effective, low cost, Free/open access 3D-printed stethoscope

The modern acoustic stethoscope is a useful clinical tool used to detect subtle, pathological changes in cardiac, pulmonary and vascular sounds. Currently, brand-name stethoscopes are expensive despite limited innovations in design or fabrication in recent decades. Consequently, the high cost of high quality, brand name models serves as a barrier to clinicians practicing in various settings, es...

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...
