The advent of soft lithography allowed for an unprecedented expansion in the field of microfluidics. However, the vast majority of PDMS microfluidic devices are still made with extensive manual labor, are tethered to bulky control systems, and have cumbersome user interfaces, all of which makes commercialization difficult. On the other hand, the “3D-printing revolution” has begun to embrace the range of sizes and materials that appeal to microfluidic developers. Prior to fabrication, a design is digitally built as a detailed 3D CAD file. The design can be assembled in modules by remotely collaborating teams, and its mechanical and fluidic behavior can be simulated using finite-element modeling. Because structures are created by adding materials without the need for etching or dissolution, processing is environmentally and economically efficient. We predict that in the next few years, 3D-printing will replace most PDMS and plastic molding techniques in academia. In this review, we describe the 3D-printing techniques relevant to the fabrication of microfluidic devices and provide examples of devices built using each technique. We explore the features of stereolithography which make it a promising technique to replace molding for prototyping and small-scale manufacturing. Finally, we identify promising new technologies and directions which will continue to push the boundaries of 3D-printed microfluidics.
