    Reconfigurable micro-mould for the manufacture of truly 3D polymer microfluidic devices
    (Cranfield University, 2009-03-31) Marson, Silvia; Attia, Usama M.; Allen, David M.; Tipler, P.; Jin, T.; Hedge, J.; Alcock, Jeffrey R.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam Shehab
    This paper concerns the concept, the design and the manufacturing steps for the fabrication of a precision mould for micro-injection moulding of truly three dimensional microfluidic devices. The mould was designed using the concept of replaceable cavities to enable the flexible development of the complex microfluidic device and to reduce machining time and therefore costs during the prototyping, testing and subsequent production phase. The precision machining technique used for the cavity manufacture was micromilling.
