Ulrich Buttner, et al., "Flash μ-fluidics: a rapid prototyping method for fabricating microfluidic devices." Rsc Advances 6 (78), 2016, 74822. Microfluidics has advanced in terms of design and structures; however, fabrication methods are time-consuming or expensive relative to facility costs and equipment needed. This work demonstrates a fast and economically viable 2D/3D maskless digital light-projection method based on a stereolithography process. Unlike other fabrication methods, one exposure step is used to form the whole device. Flash microfluidics is achieved by incorporating bonding and
