About this video
Why is Open Source Hardware important? Did you know it offers fundamental advantages to the research community? Global open source evolution in technology has resulted in the democratization of digital manufacturing. There is thus an opportunity to harness these trends to improve science by supporting the development of free and open source hardware.
In this webinar, Dr Joshua Pearce will document how the open source model works for technical development and the potential future applications of this approach harnessing advanced material science. It will conclude with opportunities for importing the benefits of the open innovation model into any scientific field.
After watching the webinar, you will have a clear understanding on how to publish in the rapidly expanding open scientific hardware field. You will also find out how to leverage open hardware to fabricate custom scientific tools and how fabricating your own equipment can significantly reduce your costs.
