论文摘要
本文说明了研究人员如何实施开放硬件解决方案,以作为访问最先进研究技术的策略。具体而言,正在讨论哪种开放技术在以经济和基础设施约束为特征的科学环境中最能实现。证明自己动手(DIY)技术已经广泛传播,尤其是在科学资金较低的国家中,这反过来又是开发开放技术的基础。除了财务可及性之外,开放硬件可以通过本地生产和直接知识转移的优势转化为实验室的技术访问。全球生物AB中采用适当技术的中心驱动因素是开放共享,数字制造,本地生产,标准零件使用和详细文档。
This article illustrates how open hardware solutions are implemented by researchers as a strategy to access technology for cutting-edge research. Specifically, it is discussed what kind of open technologies are most enabling in scientific environments characterized by economic and infrastructural constraints. It is demonstrated that do-it-yourself (DIY) technologies are already wide spread, in particular in countries with lower science funding, which in turn is the basis for the development of open technologies. Beyond financial accessibility, open hardware can be transformational to the technology access of laboratories through advantages in local production and direct knowledge transfer. Central drivers of the adoption of appropriate technologies in biolabs globally are open sharing, digital fabrication, local production, standard parts use, and detailed documentation.
