Inexpensive and robust microfluidic devices using xurography

Graduate students Monsur Islam and Rucha Natu with Professor Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte of the Multiscale Manufacturing Laboratory, published a study on the limitations of using a relatively inexpensive commercial cutter plotter in the development of microfluidic devices. Xurography, or the use of a blade to pattern a film, has been used to fabricate devices out of […]

EUREKA! Students make carbon origami

Haley Meier and McKinnon Reece participated in the EUREKA! Program in the Multiscale Manufacturing Laboratory (www.multiscalemanufacturing.net) during the Summer of 2015. Under the mentoring of Professor Rodrigo Martinez-Duarte and doctoral student Monsur Islam, these incoming freshmen developed a process to fabricate origami shapes out of carbon and carbon composites. The process exploits the fact that […]
