Late Breaking Results: A Scalable and Efficient Multi-Layer 3D-Printed Microfluidic Design Synthesis
DescriptionAdditive manufacturing, or 3D printing, holds great promise for microfluidic fabrication, enabling complex multi-layer 3D layouts, yet practical physical synthesis remains computationally prohibitive under strict timing and volumetric constraints. In 3D-printed microfluidic devices, precise control over fluid behavior is essential, demanding careful coordination of both arrival timing and delivered volume. The state-of-the-art approach couples placement, routing, and fluidic constraints into a monolithic optimization problem, which scales poorly and can require hours per iteration. We introduce a novel two-stage framework, augmented with a hierarchical conflict-resolution mechanism to ensure high routability. Compared to the state-of-the-art, our results show orders-of-magnitude speedups in complex cases, demonstrating its high efficiency.
