微流体技术已经成为一种重要的工具，可用于广泛的应用。微流体技术的一个缺点是，许多常用于制造设备的技术并不广泛使用，无法扩展到大批量制造工艺，或两者兼而有之。最近，许多最初为其他应用开发的打印策略已被应用于微流体装置制造。这些技术，包括喷墨印刷（IJP），丝网印刷（SP）和固体蜡印刷（SWP），被认为对该领域具有变革性的影响。这里介绍了微流体和打印，并提供了一系列最受欢迎的示例，突出了该组合为该领域带来的可访问性和可扩展性。
Microfluidics has become an important tool that is useful for a wide range of applications. A drawback for microfluidics is that many of the techniques that are commonly used to fabricate devices are not widely accessible, not scalable to high-volume manufacturing processes, or both. Recently, a number of printing strategies that were originally developed for other applications have been applied to microfluidic device fabrication. These techniques, which include inkjet printing (IJP), screen printing (SP), and solid wax printing (SWP), are proposed to have a transformative effect on the field. Here microfluidics and printing, are introduced and a list of favorite examples is provided that highlights the accessibility and scalability that the combination is bringing to the field.
