Environmental measurements

Locally built 3D-printed weather stations

Develop local capacity to manufacture, assemble and maintain environmental monitoring equipment.

Prototype development and practical capacity exchange

Measurements & outputs

Measurements and outputs

  • 3D-printed station components and locally adapted assemblies.
  • Environmental observations according to the sensors installed.

Research workflow

Research workflow

Exchange designs and practical experience across SEACO and partner institutions.

Train teams in filament selection, printing and assembly, as documented in the December 2025 KEMRI workshop.

Interpretation & current limits

Interpretation and limitations

  • Printing a housing or assembling a station does not establish measurement accuracy. Calibration, siting and field evaluation remain separate tasks.
  • Published workshop evidence documents training and adaptation, without establishing a network-wide deployment count.

Documented applications & research context

Applications and research context
