Homogeneous mixing of microscopic volume fluids at low Reynolds number is of great significance for a wide range of chemical, biological, and medical applications. An efficient jet mixer with arrays of micronozzles was designed and fabricated using additive manufacturing (three-dimensional (3D) printing) technology for applications in centrifugal microfluidic platforms. The contact surface of miscible liquids was enhanced significantly by impinging plumes from two opposite arrays of micronozzles to improve mixing performance. The mixing efficiency was evaluated and compared with the commonly used Y-shaped micromixer. Effective mixing in the jet mixer was achieved within a very short timescale (3s). This 3D printed jet mixer has great potential to be implemented in applications by being incorporated into multifarious 3D printing devices in microfluidic platforms.

Speed Accuracy

The 3D printing technologies used for medical applications are mostly based on paste extruders. These are designed for high capacity, and thus often feature large material reservoirs and large diameter nozzles. A major challenge for most 3D printing platforms is a compromise between speed, accuracy, and/or volume/mass of moving elements. To address these issues, we integrated a peristaltic pump into a bioprinter. That allowed for combining the most important requirements: high precision, a large material reservoir, and safety of biological material. The system of a fully heated nozzle and a cooled print bed were developed to maintain the optimal hydrogel temperature and crosslinking speed. Our modifications of the bioprinter design improved the mechanical properties of the printouts and their accuracy while maintaining the maximal survival rate of cells and increasing the capacity of the bioink reservoir.

New technologies such as 3D printing and reverse engineering are becoming increasingly popular, including in medical applications. The paper presents possible ways to use 3D printing in the area of increasing the level of medical training specialists in their daily clinical practice and in the selection of the appropriate scenario before a real surgical operation. Descriptions of the projects carried out with the surgeons aimed at achieving the aforementioned goals were presented. The presented concepts are relatively new solutions, but their further development may lead to the extension of the field of application of these techniques in medicine, among others in relation to other specialties.
