Specialised 3D printer
Video: "New Tools, New Possibilities - 3D Printing for Lab-on-a-Chip | Greg Nordin | TEDxBYU" by Greg Nordin (uploaded 2018-05-01)
This is about a custom high resolution resin 3D printer especially targeted at making microfluidic 3D circuits.
Results where quite promising (integrated micropomps)
As the slides give aaway, the modelling software used was the free and open source programmatic CAD software: OpenSCAD
It is by far not as high resolution as two photon lithography. But that would be too small anyway because:
- viscosity at that small scale would likely be way to big and
- product throughput quantity would likely be way too small even with massive parallelism
Manually reconfigurable modular microfluidic system
(wiki-TODO: Add links to papers about that peculiar modular LEGO like microfluidic resin 3D printed system)
