Purdue’s 3D Printed Groundwater Sensor brings low cost scientific instruments to USGS
3D Printing Industry
AI SUMMARY
Purdue University researchers developed a 3D-printed, open-source groundwater sensor that costs a few hundred dollars compared to thousands for commercial alternatives, making advanced monitoring tools accessible to more organizations. The innovation allows the USGS and other agencies to deploy more sensors across projects without the significant expense of specialized equipment.
FROM THE ARTICLE
Purdue University researchers have built a 3D printed, open-source alternative to the specialized groundwater-flow sensors that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) owns in only small numbers, and they can assemble each unit for a few hundred dollars, a fraction of the cost of the commercial hardware…
