Chip

1- Mold making

  • Laser engraver hacking

    Laser engraver hacking

    Bill Of Materials: You could see a complete BoM here (upload the bill).

    Amount of time: 3 hours.

    Total costs: 100 €.

    The laser usually come with a proprietary software that only allow you to engrave images. As the chips are going to be cuttered as a vector we’ll need to install a new laser firmware (into the laser) to be controlled with other software (into the PC connected to the laser).

    1. Download the columns of the stl files from our github repository.

    2. 3D print the stl models in PETG. For more information about the reasons why we choose this material see the results page.

  • Software workflow
  • Calibration
  • Cutting

2- PDMS casting

  • Preparing PDMS
  • Making a vacuum pump and vacuum chamber
  • Degassing
  • Polymerization process

3- Plasma bonding

  • Modding a microwave
  • Calibrating the microwave
  • Baking the PDMS

4- Closing the microfluidic circuit

  • Choosing the pump, the tubing and the connectors
  • Troubleshooting the leaks
