Design, Fabrication and Computational Characterization of a 3D Micro-Valve Built by Multi-Photon Polymerization

چکیده
We report on the design, modeling and fabrication by multi-photon polymerization of a complex medical fluidic device. The physical dimensions of the built micro-valve prototype are compared to those of its computer-designed model. Important fabrication issues such as achieving high dimensional resolution and ability to control distortion due to shrinkage are presented and discussed. The operational performance of both multi-photon and CAD-created models under steady blood flow conditions was evaluated and compared through computational fluid dynamics analysis.

متن کاملFlexure Design for a High-Speed Large-Range Tip-Tilt-Piston Micro- mirror Array
INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to introduce the flexure topology of a new, high fill-factor (99%) micromirror array (10,000 1mm 2 mirrors) that can achieve continuous, closed-loop control of three degrees of freedom (DOFs)—tip, tilt, and piston—over large ranges (>±10 o rotation and >±30μm translation) at high speeds (10’s of kHz). The flexure topology of this array was designed using th...

1 These are both first authors as their contributions to this paper are equal INTRODUCTION This paper presents a new method for the modeling and optimization of actuator performance in a high fill-factor (99%) micromirror array (10,000 1mm 2 mirrors). The high torque output resulting from the optimization enables the mirrors to be driven with three degrees of freedom (DOFs)—tip, tilt, and pisto...
متن کاملThe Development of a Long-Stroke Precision Positioning Stage for Micro Fabrication by Two-Photon Polymerization
This paper applies a combined precision stage to fabricate micro-structures by two-photon polymerization (TPP). The combined stage consists of PZT and stepper-motor stages to achieve precision positioning in long displacements. First, we derive the models of the stages by identification experiments. Second, we apply robust loop-shaping techniques to improve the positioning performance of the st...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of an effective micromixer through passive method
Micromixer is a significant component of microfluidics particularly in lab-on-chip applications so that there has been a growing need for design and fabrication of micromixers with a shorter length and higher efficiency. Despite most of the passive micromixers that suffer from long mixing path and complicated geometry to increase the efficiency, our novel design suggests a highly efficient micr...
