Bi-Layer 2D Designs for PDMS Prototypes

Ideal material: soft polymers like elastomers

For mimicking high-pressure and dynamic in vivo environments like the cardiovascular system, soft polymer substrates like PDMS are often preferred. For fabricating such chips, a 2D CAD design is used for prototyping with photolithography and soft lithography.

I have designed 25+ bi-layered chip models for this type of microfabrication, where I gained immense experience and developed intuition in tailoring models specific to design needs like cell culture surface area, microscopic device integrations, and collapse-proof channels that are durable under continuous fluid perfusion with pump systems.

With my experience in hands-on photolithography and soft lithography including the operation of instruments like direct-write micro-patterning systems and mask aligners, I can execute every step of the process as needed.

Tri-Layer 2D & 3D Designs for PMMA Prototypes

Ideal material: hard substrates like acrylic-derived polymers

For experimental designs under static conditions, acrylic chips made of materials like PMMA are often preferred. For fabricating such chips, a 2D or 3D CAD design is used for prototyping with CNC milling and/or laser cutting. Intricate toolpaths need to be integrated for 3D model milling.

I have designed multiple tri-layered PMMA chip models and toolpaths for this type of microfabrication, and I have extensive experience in autonomously prototyping PMMA devices and real-time troubleshooting during milling.

With my experience in spearheading every step of the process, I offer personalized consultation sessions for design principles, feedback on CAD models, toolpath integration, and fabrication planning. My visual protocol booklets provide a beginner-friendly experience for understanding the principles of AutoDesk softwares and instruments commonly used in microfabrication.
