Manipulating fluid with vibrating 3D-printed paddles for applications in micropump

This paper presents a novel working mechanism of a micropump using micropaddles (MPs) to actively manipulate fluid based on 3D printing technology. The novel working principle is systematically discussed using analysis, computation and experiment methods. A theoretical model is established to resear...
