Peering into the microscopic world of fluid channels just got a revolutionary upgrade. At this 3DHEALS event, we explore the transformative impact of 3D printing on microfluidic device development with industry experts and researchers at the cutting edge of this technology convergence. Our speakers share how specialized 3D printing systems are overcoming traditional fabrication limitations, enabling rapid prototyping and the creation of revolutionary new designs. Summary: Hamdeep Patel from CatWorks3D discusses a specialized 3D printing system optimized for microfluidics with unbeatable feature resolution.CatWorks3D’s CytoClear material achieves 90% cell viability with optical transparency for direct microscopic analysis.sPaul Marshall from RapidFluidics provides rapid microfluidic prototyping services for researchers and companies worldwide.Professor Christopher Moraes from McGill University utilizes 3D-printed parts combined with biocompatible materials for advanced organoid culture applications.Jeff Schultz from Phase AM is developing technology to directly 3D print PDMS (Silgard 184) without modifications.Key adoption factors include leveraging 3D printing's unique capabilities rather than replicating 2D designs.The integration of world-to-chip interfaces, such as Luer locks, significantly improves device reliability.Creating truly 3D structures with complex internal geometries represents the future of microfluidics.The consensus is clear: successful adoption requires leveraging 3D printing's unique capabilities rather than simply replicating 2D designs. As these technologies mature, we are witnessing the emergence of truly three-dimensional microfluidic systems with integrated functionality that promises to revolutionize diagnostics, drug development, and biological research.SUBSCRIBE to join us at future 3DHEALS conferences to connect with innovators and investors in the rapidly evolving field of 3D printing for healthcare applications.Watch this event recording on demand.YouTube Event Highlight Playlist.Podcast engineer: Faith FernandesSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our premium version and support the show.
