Holographic photopolymerization combined to microfluidics for the fabrication of lab-in-lab microdevices and complex 3D micro-objects

Abstract

We show here brand-new possibilities of lab-in-lab fabrication while combining holographic photopolymerization and microfluidics. One shot real-time 3D-printing can produce 3D architectured microchannels, or free-standing complex micro-objects eventually in flow. The methodology is very versatile and can be applied to e.g., acrylate resins or hydrogels.
