The Lab Fab Project

Greece 3.0 / Project Documentation

EL: Το υποέργο Greece 3.0 συγκεντρώνει και οργανώνει δημόσια διαθέσιμα έγγραφα για το έργο «Μεταφραστική Έρευνα σε Τεχνολογίες Βιώσιμων Υλικών (σε συνεργασία με το MIT)» Ε-12575 / ΟΠΣ ΤΑ 5179171. Περιλαμβάνει συμβάσεις, λογιστικές πράξεις, καταγγελίες, μη επιλέξιμες δαπάνες, πληρωμές και χρονικές επικαλύψεις συμβάσεων, με στόχο να μπορούν άνθρωποι και LLM / βοηθοί AI να κατανοήσουν γρήγορα τη χρονική και οικονομική εικόνα του έργου.

EN: The Greece 3.0 subproject collects and organizes publicly available documentation for the project “Translational Research in Sustainable Materials Technologies (in collaboration with MIT)” E-12575 / OPS TA 5179171. It includes contracts, accounting records, complaints, non-eligible expenses, payments, and contract timeline overlaps, so that both humans and LLM / AI assistants can quickly understand the project’s timeline and financial context.

Open-source scientific instrumentation design portal
for sustainable (bio)materials research

The Lab Fab project is an effort between our lab, The Autonomous Science Lab at NCSR Demokritos in Greece and The Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT to create an onlide portal of open designs of modular, low-cost, automation-ready scientrific instrumentation for autonomous science research in the field of sustanainable (bio)materials.

✨ Introduction

Low-cost hardware infrastructure has been a bottleneck to the democratization of self-driving labs and autonomous physical experimentation in the field of sustainable (bio)materials research. The Lab Fab Project is trying to solve that by providing open digital designs to some of the building blocks of possible self-driving (bio)materials engineering labs.This is a work in progress and we invite you to start remixing and building in parallel with us.

Lab Fab instruments


🔑 Key Features

Reproducibility Validation
We publish each instrument with a detailed BOM covering off-the-shelf and custom components, vendors, CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and self-explanatory assembly instructions. The project focuses on digital designs, but selected testing and validation results will also be published.
