BYU Researchers Create First 3D Printed Microfluidic Device Effective Below 100 Micrometers
It’s possible to use 3D printing to create microfluidic devices, which are tiny ‘lab on a chip’ tools that use microscopic channels to work out small structures like cells and…
Cytosurge Develops Nanoscale FluidFM into Consumer-Friendly 3D Printing Process
FluidFM is a technology that has been around for quite a while, but it’s also constantly developing and changing – much like 3D printing in general. The technology was originally…
3D Printed Microfluidic Devices Could Increase the Number of Viable Organs for Transplant
While great strides have been made in 3D bioprinting, including the production of living tissue for drug testing and disease research, the ultimate goal is still elusive: to 3D print…
3D Printing May Help Make More Effective Medical Microfluidic Chips
Diagnosing genetic mutations and anomalies is a tricky science. In Dino Di Carlo’s lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, that science involves the careful preparation of microfluidic chips. These…
LLNL Researchers Develop New Method of 3D Printing Transparent Glass for Optical Applications
The 3D printing of glass has been in the news quite a lot lately, with several breakthroughs coming in the last couple of months. Micron3DP is releasing its glass 3D printer…
Professor of Microfluidics Discusses 3D Printing Benefits and Possible Future Improvements with Ultimaker
A lab-on-a-chip is pretty self-explanatory: it’s a miniature laboratory that is printed onto a microchip. But for the past 25 years, Professor David Barrow of Cardiff University in Wales has studied microfluidics, which…
UCI Researchers Introduce 3D Printed Microfluidics Platform
A few weeks ago, researchers from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, introduced a paper focusing on an innovative Lego-based modular microfluidics platform designed with…
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Giant Leap Technologies Receive Grant to Develop 3D Printed Microfluidic Solar Power Collectors
Alternative energy is a controversial topic, and it’s just one piece of the larger climate change debate that’s been raging for years. As the scientific evidence for climate change becomes…
The Fluidic Factory is the First Commercial 3D Printer for Fabricating Microfluidic Chips & More
While we see bright, shiny new desktop 3D printers every day, the Fluidic Factory 3D printer puts the emphasis in new unlike most others, simply because it provides something most…
