A 3D printer for the fabrication of microfluidic chips

摘要:

针对微流控芯片传统加工工艺成本较高，工时较长等问题提出了一种低成本、适用于微流控芯片制备的3D打印机设计方案，该设计方案由3D打印机本体和上位机控制软件组成，其中上位机控制软件负责将事先建好的三维模型进行分析、切片，并生成G-code格式文件；3D打印控制系统负责接收、解析G-code文件及转化为打印机可识别的控制指令以完成物体的快速成型。详细阐述了3D打印机各功能模块的具体实现，给出了测试打印结果，证明该打印机具有成本低、精度高的优点。

Abstract:

Aimed at the high cost and long working time of the traditional microfluidic chip processing technology, a low-cost, 3D printer design scheme for microfluidic chip preparation is proposed. The design scheme is composed of a 3D printer and a host computer Control software. Wherein the host computer control software is responsible for analyzing and slicing the pre-built 3D model and generating the G-code format file; and the 3D printing control system responsible for receiving, analyzing G-code files and converting them into printer-recognizable control commands to complete rapid prototyping of objects. Described in detail the realization of the various functional modules of the 3D printer, gives the test printing result, confirmed that the printer has the advantages of low cost, high precision.
