Abstract

See full text

A printing method to fabricate three-dimensional microfluidic components is disclosed. A three-dimensional mold made of a first wax is formed. A sacrificial material made of a second wax is provided as a temporary support and then dissolved. A component material is poured onto the mold and cured. The first wax is then melted away. In this way three-dimensional interconnected fluidic components comprising channels, vias and control sections can be obtained.
