Instruments, even simple ones, are typically expensive, and purchased using grant funding in a time consuming process. UVic's Sustainable Manufacturing Additive Research Team (SMART) Lab needed a suite of material testing and processing instruments, but found them cost prohibitive. Goal: develop a low cost resonant frequency damping analyzer, pulse magnetizer, and potentiostat for research use.open sourceinstrumentmaterial scienceLow Cost, Open Source Instrument DesignPoster
