3D printed microfluidics and microelectronics

TL;DR: This study summarized and classified applications of different AM methods in manufacturing of sensors, briefly reviewed and compared AM techniques and categorized 3D-printed sensors based on their applications.

TL;DR: In recent years, there have been many critical developments in the field of 3D printing, such as the development of volumetric 3D printings to increase the printing speed, composite 3D printers to create piezoelectric devices and hydrogel structures highly similar to blood vessels as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to provide the readers with updated technical and operational details concerning current BBB platforms with special focus on stem cell technology used to establish a functional BBB model in vitro.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of additive manufacturing technology on sustainable business models are assessed by taking into account the social, environmental and economic impacts on business models and for all these three dimensions a balanced scorecard structure is proposed.

TL;DR: A procedure that makes it possible to design and fabricate microfluidic systems in an elastomeric material poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) in less than 24 h by fabricating a miniaturized capillary electrophoresis system is described.

TL;DR: Mechanically active “organ-on-a-chip” microdevices that reconstitute tissue-tissue interfaces critical to organ function may expand the capabilities of cell culture models and provide low-cost alternatives to animal and clinical studies for drug screening and toxicology applications.

TL;DR: Fabrication of microfluidic devices in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) by soft lithography provides faster, less expensive routes to devices that handle aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: The progress made by lab-on-a-chip microtechnologies in recent years is analyzed, and the clinical and research areas in which they have made the greatest impact are discussed.
