Abstract

Microreactor systems are reactors with three-dimensional structures which are under a millimeter in size. They are commonly fabricated by wet and dry etching, precision machining, laser treatment, blasting and lithographic tech- niques. Additive manufacturing technologies have been overlooked in this area. This paper presents a part of research related to fabrication of microstructured reactors (microreactors and millireactors) by using two additive manufac- turing technologies (fused filament fabrication and stereolithography). One example of static mixer used in a milli- reactor and one reactor designed for uniform droplet production are also presented.

Keywords
