Abstract

Micropipettes are used to measure and deliver accurate volumes of liquid. The introduction of affordable, consumer-oriented 3-D printers is a milestone in the current ?maker movement,? which has been heralded as the next industrial revolution. Combined with free and open sharing of detailed design blueprints and accessible development tools, rapid prototypes of complex products can now be assembled in one?s own garage?a game-changer reminiscent of the early days of personal computing. At the same time, 3-D printing has also allowed the scientific and engineering community to build the ?little things? that help a lab get up and running much faster and easier than ever before.
