Limitations and Considerations

3D Printing may result in a surface finish that is not as smooth as other replication
techniques, potentially affecting fluid flow characteristics and sample interactions.
The range of materials suitable for 3D Printing may be limited compared to other methods, restricting choices for specific applications.
Achieving ultra-high resolutions for
replicating extremely fine features may be challenging with 3D Printing, impacting certain microfluidic designs.
Depending on the 3D Printing technology used, post-processing steps such as cleaning, curing, or surface treatment may be necessary, adding complexity to the replication process.
Initial equipment and material costs for 3D Printing can be significant, especially for high-quality prints, which may not be suitable for projects with budget constraints.
Some microfluidic designs may require significant adaptations or simplifications to be effectively replicated using 3D Printing.
