To demonstrate the versatility of ULOC to accommodate different
configurations, a lateral flow device was implemented
around the unibody concept. and is the
most representative biosensing target involving 85% of the biosensing
market.
The ability to modify a core design, without extensive
knowledge of CAD operation, is a bonus for biosensor developers
whose focus is beyond microfabrication. With the 3D
printer the exposure patterns are bitmap images that can be
edited with image retouching software. In the present case,
the first device was transformed into the lateral flow
example using only Photoshop® edition. The possibility
to image edit exposure patterns can significantly shorten
the workflow during the development phase, since it avoids
CAD re-edition, slicing and control procedures, by just
correcting the few bitmaps that define the design
