A 3D-Printed Plate Handler for Automated Handling of Well Plates on the Opentrons OT-2
Structured record from the DIY biofabrication corpus.
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 push–pull syringe pump for continuous flow applications
Continuous-flow is a common gap in low-cost pump designs; relevant for automated synthesis and perfusion workflows.
A Versatile Open-Source Printhead for Low-Cost 3D Microextrusion-Based Bioprinting
Shows an open printhead design path for lowering barriers to microextrusion bioprinting.
An Open Source Syringe Pump Controller for Fluid Delivery of Multiple Volumes
Control-layer open tool enabling multi-volume delivery; complements open pump hardware papers.
Evaluation of Microplate Handling Accuracy for Applying Robotic Arms in Laboratory Automation
Quantifies robot-arm positioning requirements for microplate transfer—key enabler around liquid handlers.
Open-source spring-driven syringe pump with 3D-printed components for microfluidic applications
A 2024 open-hardware pump design; useful building block for low-cost liquid handling and microfluidics.
Open-Source Syringe Pump Library
Not bioprinting-specific, but open syringe-pump hardware is a common building block for extrusion bioprinting. | Foundational open-hardware syringe pump reference frequently reused in lab automation builds.
Open-source, 3D-printed Peristaltic Pumps for Small Volume Point-of-Care Liquid Handling
Enabling open liquid-handling hardware that can integrate with extrusion/bioprinting workflows. | Practical open pump design for point-of-care and microfluidic liquid handling.
OpenLH: Open Liquid-Handling System for Creative Experimentation with Biology
Uses a commercial robotic arm + modified pipette + block-based programming; relevant example of robot-arm liquid handling. | Early ‘open liquid handling’ system description; may provide useful design patterns + references.
Real-time AI-driven quality control for laboratory automation: a novel computer vision solution for the opentrons OT-2 liquid handling robot
Structured record from the DIY biofabrication corpus.
