An open-source project called the Open MicroManipulator has been shared on Hacker News, described as a platform for 3D motion control at sub-micrometer precision. Such resolution would make it useful for microscopy, micro-assembly and lab automation at low cost compared with commercial nanopositioning stages. Commenters are discussing the design, achievable accuracy and what an open hardware alternative could mean for research labs.
Why now: Tech enthusiasts are discussing a new open-source precision hardware project that could undercut expensive commercial nanopositioning systems.
