== Claims ==
The author, [[Joshua Pearce]], claims the method enables researchers in every discipline to develop research tools at low costs following his previous research in open source hardware published in ''[[Science (journal)|Science]]''.<ref>Pearce, Joshua M. 2012. “[http://www.sciencemag.org/content/337/6100/1303.summary Building Research Equipment with Free, Open-Source Hardware.]” ''Science'' '''337''' (6100): 1303–1304.</ref><ref>[http://www.labmanager.com/news/2013/11/how-scientists-can-cut-costs-by-making-their-own-lab-equipment How Scientists Can Cut Costs by Making Their Own Lab Equipment] - Lab Manager - November 19, 2013</ref> These claims have been generally supported by others using the techniques, such as those in the in [[DIY Bio]] community <ref>[http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/38546/title/Opinion--Science-Counterculture/ Science Counterculture: On taking DIYbio to the next level] - The Scientist - December 9, 2013</ref> While discussing the book in an interview with ''3-D Printing Industry'', Pearce has claimed to save thousands in his own lab.<ref>[http://3dprintingindustry.com/2013/10/18/printers-pearce-interview-3d-printers-peaces-dr-joshua-pearce/ 3D Printing Industry Interview with Dr. Joshua Pearce]</ref> and his various studies on the economics of printing lab equipment, such as a ''[[PLOS ONE]]'' article on open source optics have generally found over 90% savings.<ref>Zhang C, Anzalone NC, Faria RP, Pearce JM (2013) Open-Source 3D-Printable Optics Equipment.
