Application of 3D studio max for virtual prototyping and virtual manufacturing of microfluidic MEMS

Virtual prototyping with 3D drawing programs provides a means of rapidly developing system concepts and analyzing them. Also the research area “Virtual Manufacturing” can be defined as an integrated manufacturing environment which can enhance one or several levels of decision and control in manufacturing process. To reflect this expanded scope, the broader terms “microfluidics” and “lab-on-a-chip” are now often used in addition to mTAS. Most microfluidics researchers rely on micromachining technologies at least to some extent to produce microflow systems based on interconnected micrometer-dimensioned channels. Thus we will look through the main methods of working with microfluids for MEMS using 3ds max a main tool for simulation and rendering the process.
