The technological development of open source three-dimensional (3D) printers is creating more affordable Additive Manufacturing (AM) machines for society in different applications. For this reason, the machines’ capability should be evaluated in order to establish minimum standards of performance. This paper deals with the development, manufacture and testing of a geometrical benchmarking model (GBM) in order to evaluate the geometrical accuracy performance of open source 3D printers. The methodology is demonstrated with a case study based on fused deposition modelling (FDM). The case study positions the evaluated machine according to ANSI-ISO's International Tolerance (IT) Grades. Furthermore, root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) value is employed as an accuracy estimator, while Taguchi tools are employed to determine the control factors with the highest accuracy for the fabrication of the GBM.

This website is an attempt in promoting free, mostly open source projects that can be used for scientific projects. Being a neuroscientist, most of the projects here will have neuroscience oriented examples/ideas, but this doesn’t mean they cannot be used at any other area of science.

SQL is the gateway drug to enterprise adoption says analysts at recent developer conference. Hadoop Summit, leading big data developer conference, saw the maturation of the Hadoop ecosystem. Hadoop is one of the necessary requirements in realizing the promise of Big Data’s application growth in the enterprise, and key players have emerged among those most influential in this development.

In less than a week, Apple will be taking the stage at its WWDC keynote event to talk about OS X, iOS 8 and its new health-tracking ‘Healthbook’ app. Unsurprisingly, Samsung tried to beat them to the punch today by announcing its own healthcare initiative.

Engineering and design software supplier Autodesk adds a new wrinkle to the developing 3D printing scene by positioning its 3D printing hardware and software as open source templates, much like Google did with the Android OS.

There's been a ton of excitement around 3D printing over the last few years and it's definitely justified. While the techniques of 3D printing have been around for many decades, recent cost reductions have thrust 3D printing into wide-spread use. Unsurprisingly, open source is right there with the commercial manufacturers this time.

Patents, IPR and marketing restrictions are an important part of the food we eat. The battles fought for a free Internet and free software are the same but also different. The laws on food IPR and marketing in Europe are being updated, and also discussions on TAFTA have begun. Lets figure out how we can work together to keep our food out of the hands of big companies like Monsanto, and instead controlled by farmers, home gardeners and independent plant breeders.

When I think about the world that we are now living, I have to (I literally must) think about open source technologies, open source frameworks and products such good that became excellent platforms to build your own distrupting software, or board.

The problem with the open source community is that it is, by design, not owed anything for its work, yet expects utmost deference to be paid. To be clear, Linux could have never gotten off the ground without the community that surrounded it. But that does not mean that every business based on open source tools (provided that business returns the various and direct changes to open source code when applicable) must grovel at the feet of a self-designated cabal of protectors.

I am very excited to publish the first episode of the Open Hardware Labs podcast! One of the question I hear all the time is: how do you make money in the field of Open-Source Hardware? Doesn't open source mean free?

With virtual reality headsets set to play a huge role in the future of gaming, at least based on the level of interest shown in Facebook's acquisition of Oculus VR, creators of the Rift, and Sony's planned Project Morpheus peripheral for the PlayStation 4, it should be no surprise that an increasing number of companies are looking to jump aboard the bandwagon.
