This project aims to develop a novel 3D printer offering the highest resolution available and fastest printing speed for the single-step manufacturing of complex microfluidic devices. New resins developed to exploit the inert liquid interface layer printing approach will provide unprecedented capability to create micron sized channels interconnected in 3D space and fabricate Lab-on-a-Chip systems that cannot be generated by any current fabrication approach. This novel high speed, high fidelity 3D printer and the new resins to be developed are expected to lead to more effective manufacturing approaches for portable chemical devices and to promote complex chemical analysis into the knowledge immediacy culture of today.

该项目旨在开发一种新型3D打印机，为复杂微流体设备的单步制造提供最高的分辨率和最快的打印速度。为利用惰性液体界面层打印方法而开发的新树脂将提供前所未有的能力，以创建在3D空间中互连的微米级通道，并制造任何当前制造方法都无法生成的芯片实验室系统。这种新型的高速、高保真3D打印机和即将开发的新树脂有望为便携式化学设备带来更有效的制造方法，并将复杂的化学分析推广到当今的知识即时性文化中。
