| Abstract | Article history: Received 15 June 2017 Received in revised form 14 December 2017 Accepted 16 December 2017 Available online 21 December 2017 Submillimeter-scale domains offer wide-ranging benefits for chemical and biological fields, which havemotivated researchers to develop a diversity of strategies formanufacturing integratedmicrofluidic systems. Historically, microfluidic device construction has predominantly relied onmicromachining technologies that are rooted in the semiconductor and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) industries. These methodologies have enabled microfluidic platforms to be fabricatedwith fully integratedmicroelectronics – a critical requirement for applications such as electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis (DEP), surface acoustic wave (SAW) actuation, digital microfluidics (e.g., via electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) phenomena), and on-chip electrochemical detection. Despite the distinguishing capabilities afforded by conventional microfabrication protocols, a number of inherent limitations have given rise to increasing interest in alternative approaches formicrodevice construction in the form of additive manufacturing or “three-dimensional (3D) printing”. Here we review recent progress in the development of both 3D printedmicrofluidics and 3D printedmicroelectronics. We evaluate the distinctive benefits and constraints associated with emerging 3D printing technologies with respect to the fabrication of both microfluidic and microelectronic systems. Lastly, we examine the potential use of 3D printing-based approaches for manufacturing microfluidic devices with integrated microelectronics. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
