Microfluidics

Microfluidics are often (and increasingly) being used in various scientific fields. These experiments look at how these techniques might be used for the creation of speculative future designed objects and/or art. In these sketches, I used a 3D Doodler ABS 3D printing pen to create the pathways which were removed in an acetone bath. Silicone, water, and sometimes circuitry.

Some of this research led to micro-pumping solutions (not pictured) included in the Dynalloy Newsletter for its use of their SMA material called Flexinol.
