With CAD assets
Papers with explicit CAD or design-file evidence in the curated corpus.
Why these papers are here
Derived from explicit CAD, STL, STEP, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or design-file mentions in the structured fields.
A cost-effective and open-source near-field electrospinning system with a graphical user interface
easy to operate; reproducibility (limitation of traditional custom-build systems); for precise, programmable nanofiber patterning
A high performance open-source syringe extruder optimized for extrusion and retraction during FRESH 3D bioprinting
Directly comparable to Replistruder—an open syringe/extrusion tool that enables better bioink handling.
A Low-Cost, Open-Source 3D Printer for Multimaterial and High-Throughput Direct Ink Writing of Soft and Living Materials
Adjacent platform for living-material printing; include if you want broader DIW-living-materials tooling.
Commit: Digital pipette: open hardware for liquid transfer in self-driving laboratories
Open hardware for accurate liquid transfer in self-driving labs; reports accuracy within ISO 8655-2 permissible error.
Development and implementation of a significantly low-cost 3D bioprinter using recycled scrap material
Shows extreme cost-reduction approach; practical for access/democratization discussions.
Low-cost near-field electrospinning (NFES) system
Structured record from the DIY biofabrication corpus.
Principles of computer-controlled linear motion applied to an open-source affordable liquid handler for automated micropipetting
Not a bioprinter, but relevant open automation tool for biofabrication/bioprinting workflows. | Canonical open-source liquid handling robot paper; good baseline against newer modular tools like digital pipette.
Replistruder 4
Structured record from the DIY biofabrication corpus.
Sidekick: A Low-Cost Open-Source 3D-printed liquid dispensing robot
HardwareX often includes complete design files + BOM; strong ‘open hardware’ fit.
