Abstract:
Since the 2000s, microfluidic technology has
developed quickly, and presently it is well-liked by academic
researchers. However, employing lithography to produce
microfluidic devices is an expensive, difficult, and timeconsuming operation. Microfluidic facilities must be built at a
significant cost because everything is imported. As a result,
microfluidics is limited in Malaysia. Therefore, a new method
to create a microfluidic mold for quick production using threedimensional (3D) printer technology has been described in this
study. This method is more cost-effective than lithography
facilities. Anyone can create their own microfluidic channel
using computer-aided design (CAD) design software by using
3D printing technology, which can be used for a variety of
purposes. To predict the channel's behavior, the finite element
method (FEM) is simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics. A
syringe pump is connected to the channel in order to observe
the fluid flow. The results of the test, simulation, and theory
were all highly congruent.
