The Future of Microfluidic Manufacturing: Precision, Efficiency, and Innovation

Discover next-Gen Microfluidic Fabrication

Precision, reproducibility, and efficiency are non-negotiable in microfluidic device manufacturing—but traditional fabrication methods can make these difficult to achieve. If inconsistent results, material limitations, or slow prototyping are holding back your research or production, it’s time for a smarter approach.

Join us for this exclusive webinar, where Jodie Tokihiro and Ingrid Robertson from the University of Washington’s BCME Lab will reveal how CNC machining is transforming microfluidic fabrication. Learn how they’ve tackled common manufacturing roadblocks, dramatically improved consistency and precision, and accelerated their research process with high-speed CNC milling.

Don’t let outdated methods slow you down—unlock the future of microfluidic production. 

What You’ll Learn:

  • Key strategies for teams new to CNC, from design to CAM processing.
  • The impact of precision on experimental reproducibility.
  • Why CNC machining delivers greater precision and reproducibility than PDMS-based fabrication.
  • How user-friendly CNC technology speeds up adoption and research.
  • Demonstration of a 2mm CandyCollect, a lollipop-inspired microfluidic device, machined on a DATRON neo to production.
